WHEN is the MSM going to start talking about THIS????
New report from medical exams of 11 former Terrorist subjects held by the US:

One Iraqi prisoner, identified only as Yasser, reported being subjected to electric shocks three times and being sodomized with a stick. His thumbs bore round scars consistent with shocking, according to the report obtained by The Associated Press. He would not allow a full rectal exam.

Those examined alleged that they were tortured or abused, including sexually, and described being shocked with electrodes, beaten, shackled, stripped of their clothes, deprived of food and sleep, and spit and urinated on.

"The level of the time, thoroughness and rigor of the exams left me personally without question about the credibility of the individuals," said Dr. Allen Keller, one of the doctors who conducted the exams, in an interview with the AP. "The findings on the physical and psychological exams were consistent with what they reported."


and guess what?

ALL 11 WERE RELEASED WITHOUT CRIMINAL CHARGES.
kinda makes you wonder what happens to the really bad guys, huh????

12. Very true..and..
Edited on Fri Jun-20-08 07:54 AM by Stuart G
an outstanding analysis. Yes, most of the mainstream media does not cover stories. But enough of it still exists (I guess one can argue about definitions) that the information is available if you look. ..stillcool47 has made a great point.


and I might add this...........the assholes at Yahoo News almost never tell a story that is complete. Yahoo News is the last place that I would guess would put up this kind of story. Oh well, remember, a broken clock is right twice a day...

7. Rachel Maddow had it on her show last night.
But I guess AAR isn't mainstream news.

11. At some point, it will be.
The so-called "mainstream media" is in reality the "corporate media" and they are not "in business" to inform the public. They are in business to further the interests of the corporation.

10. That was where I heard it...
I was listening at work, and he did talk about it a lot.

I would think this would be the lead story on the nat'l news,
the front page of my local newspaper....Remember the f'ing blue dress?
we couldn't watch anything without hearing the words "oral copulation" and "semen"..blah blah, blah..
for MONTHS!
