http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...p_on_re_mi_ea/prisoner_abuse&cid=540&ncid=716 Just plain dumb! How the fuck could these stuuuuupid morons be so dumb? Christ there are some complete retards. (And I did suspect that those army intelligence tests were too simple! ) Seriously, is this as dumb as it gets or what? It's as though there weren't enough problems already. Oh sure, I know it's easy to sit back from the comfort of my living room and point fingers, but this one is such a no-brainer that I am totally shocked how something this stupid could have happened.
It is interesting that you label those white non Arab abusers stupid. Did you also say that same thing about the Arabs who abused our prisoners or dead and wounded? Did you say they were simply being stupid? Or did your blood boil because of their savage and demonic behavior toward civilized Americans.

"According to staff at the hospital, the only information provided by the Americans was the incorrect name and a medical report which said Mr. Abrahim had suffered a heart attack. The doctors at the hospital in Tikrit, after performing diagnostic tests, informed the family that Mr. Abrahim had suffered massive head trauma, electrocution, and other bruises on his arms. An EKG proved that his heart was functioning perfectly. The family was told that he was in an unrecoverable state and would be in a coma for the rest of his life from the obvious trauma suffered." http://electroniciraq.net/uploads/sadiqheadb525.jpg http://electroniciraq.net/uploads/sadiqelectro525.jpg http://electroniciraq.net/uploads/sadiqheadf525.jpg http://electroniciraq.net/uploads/sadiqoverview525.jpg http://electroniciraq.net/news/1313.shtml
Actually, to be honest, my blood didn't boil at all over the treatment of those Americans. Did yours? And ART, I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that all I think the "white non Arab abusers" is that they are "stupid". I really hate to see humans unnecessarily humiliated no matter who they are; so there's a whole host of other nasty adjectives I'd throw in there as well. Without condoning it, I can understand how someone might get the urge to do what they did, but fuck, I think you truly have to be an a-grade moron (among other things) to actually go and do it, given the sensitivity of the situation.
Reuters Friday, April 30, 2004; 4:08 PM "They keep asking why we hate them? Why we detest them? Maybe they should look well in the mirror and then they will hate themselves," said Khadija Mousa from Syria. "What I saw is very very humiliating. The Americans are showing their true image." "The liberators are worse than the dictators. This is the straw that broke the camel's back for America," said Abdel-Bari Atwan Friday, editor of the Arab newspaper Al Quds Al Arabi. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=5004661
