Another intense anti-Bush media firestorm turns out to end up at the feet of Democrats... expect this story to fade like the 9/11 commission.

Yup. This won't hit the mainstream media. But we have to make sure it does.

I would like to know if the "abusers" were registered democrat or republican?? It may be that what they believe is root of what happened....imho I would also like to know about political agendas of the "higher up" officers who condoned or ordered this behavior? What about the CACE intelligence civilians who were interrogators, did the military say to give them what they want?? Maybe some of them need civilian charges levied against them.

Also, since young people are not taught about God, or allowed to have prayer in schools there is no way they know anything about combating evil...and there is plenty of it to go around in Iraq. So what do we expect will happen to "what their families think is normal, okay people" when exposed to that pressure! Imagine all the demons released from the bodies of those dead terrorists looking for a person to inhabit!! Didn't Jesus deliver the man in tombs and the demons cried out to be sent into the pigs...they are looking for places in which to live, and continue their evil. If our troops have never understood that we resist evil, then they take it right into themselves, imho.
I expect some flack on that statement, but I stand by my christian knowledge of God's word.

It is time that these 17 members of the Congression Rat pack immediatley resign for not responding to this prisoner abuse earlier.

It doesn't matter if a lowly peon in their office refused to pass the info up to them. They are responsible for everything done in their offices including this terrible delay in getting upset about the prisoner abuse.

Here are the the 17 names, all Democrats except for Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, Sgt. Frederick's congressman:

Senators Jack Reed, Mark Dayton, Robert Byrd, Bill Nelson, Evan Bayh, Mark Pryor, Edward Kennedy, Benjamin Nelson, Hillary Clinton, Joseph Lieberman, Daniel Akaka, Paul Sarbanes, John D. Rockefeller, Governor Mark Warner and Rep. Roscoe Bartlett.

Senator Byrd's office would not even accept the letter e-mailed to him on the grounds it was too long.

Bartlett said he was looking into the matter.

Sarbanes said he had written the the "appropriate officials."

All 17 of you must immediately resign for not responding to this terrible problem until it became politically expedient for you to appear to respond.
