I hate the "press". Not dislike, HATE. I hate their faux-patriotism, their faux-indepemdence; their faux-shock. I hate them, and I feel wonderful about it.

Andrea passing around Washington rumours of 'apparent' sex acts caught on camera and 'almost' beating someone until they pass out/expire, not exactly convincing stuff.

That's right, the press made those guards rape, sodomize, and humiliate.

I hate the press as much as you do, but they are not to blame for what happened in that prison.

I don't know who is, but they should be given a fair trial and a speedy hanging.

Notice how the press is not reporting that American deaths in Iraq have stopped since those photos were made public? The cowardly jihadis are running back to Syria, afraid of appearing on Al Jazeera, buck naked on a leash for all their dirty friends to see. These photos are saving American lives.

American deaths have nearly stopped since the photos were released. These so-called atrocities are saving American lives.

What is it that you'd expect the media to do? I'd submit you should be directing your hatred at the sick people who perpetrated these abuses. If the nature of these claims turns out to be true, the guards involved left the media with little choice but to dwell on the issue.

=== Military officials told NBC News

Who's passing rumors to whom?

If there was raping going on, then I believe real executions are in order for these swine, no matter if they be US or Iraqi guards. It used to be you could be sentenced to death for rape in the military. Not sure how it stands, now. I'm a former MP and US Army vet from 30 years ago.

Yes, I want blood. Yes, I am disgusted.

My hunch is there is a "Don't ask, don't tell" quality to this. Somewhere in the midst of this is a cadre of homosexuals who were allowed to run the interrogations.

Well WND just posted a story the other day about a porn site run by a person named Linda MacNew (sp?) that was the source of the photo of the poor Iraqi lady(islamic porn stars ?) getting "raped" by a US GI.

Linda took the site down after "somebody" used "her" pictures from her site for the ongoing disinformational media feeding frenzy .

PMSNBC needs to be really sure they have a "real" picture of one of those prison guards raping a prisoner before they go spewing more lies about this presstitute parade on politics !

Stay Safe !

I agree - the suicide bombers are stepping back - they realize it's a lot less painful to watch the U.S. military hang itself...

It's been too short a time to correlate these pictures with Iraqi actions.

Bogus GI rape photos used as Arab propaganda

Pictures purporting to be U.S. troops actually taken from porn sites

I agree. This stuff is just weird-- who would think it up? Who wouldn't be completely repulsed to be involved with it? This stuff just isn't normal-- there's something the matter with those people.

Andrea Mitchell is probably just spilling what she heard at the cocktail party last night.

They should be given a medal, a promotion, and then moved to the frontlines to deal with the rest of the islamic scum.

Will the perps be sent away for life? Executed? Will the American military enforce harsh discipline to make sure their members get the message of the seriousness of their responsibilities?

In this Oprah society, I'm afraid this is going to turn into a circus with Dr. Phil in the big top and the military unable to enforce severe blows to the criminals who smeared our country's reputation.
