oh well, sucks to be them but Im OK! It is hard to say it was torture though. There is nothing behind the photos. I liked the one quote from the article

"The program reports that some prisoners at Abu Ghraib were killed when U.S. soldiers ran out of rubber bullets trying to quell a riot at the jail and resorted to using live rounds."


during a prison riot with people that will gladly kill you what are you supposed to do? Use kid gloves? no blow thier asses away, thats what. I may be cold hearted but I have ZERO sympathy for them

"The images come at a tense time in relations between the West and Muslim countries after cartoons were published in Denmark which satirised the Prophet Mohammad."
Um, yeah, I would put being at "war" higher up than a goddamn cartoon.

No one has said it yet, but back when the first Abu Gharib pictures were released I heard a lot of people saying the same thing, "What kind of idiot would take pictures?" So basically the horrible treatment of prisoners isn't bad but the pictures are!

"See no evil, admit no evil."

A man from some Government organization said yesterday they didn't want the photos released because it would infringe on the detainees rights to privacy. oOo:

How is it ok to print this, but not the Muhammed cartoons ...

It falls under the same categorie ... freedom to piss people off.

Muhammed - Anti-Muslim
So call torture by US - Anti-US
