Think that's bad.  Go HERE.

Ok. But enough already. President Bush, get out there and remind the country that our real priority has to be in the field of battle, and that the leftists pushing this prisoner story will do nothing but consign the Iraqis to chaos and oppression. Enough defense.

[Blue Highway]

And yet the media and the whining liberals will still blame Rumsfeld and Bush for this.

[TomGuy]

As the 'under oath' testimonies start surfacing from the trials, the dems/libs will be disappointed. I doubt they find much 'order' from anyone high up than those who were on 'late night duty.'

The half-dozen weren't ordered, just encouraged, by those who were present during the after hours, late nite event(s).

A male guard has essentially said the same thing--there were no 'orders' to do what they did.

[McGavin999]

OK, so now the truth is starting to come out. I think there is going to be a serious backlash against the democrats on this one.

I don't really think they realize what is coming their way.

[jslade]

has told military investigators that she received no specific orders to abuse detainees.

Just did it on her own. Freelancing you know!

[PISANO]

The CRY of LEFTISTS everywhere. "IT IS NOT MY FAULT!!" ......... "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN ACTIONS!!!"

[Ruth A.]

military intelligence merely encouraged them to keep doing whatever they were doing to soften prisoners up - "that we were doing a good job.

The only problem would be with the MI not asking what was being done to achieve the "good job." If this statement from her is accurate, that is.

[Young Werther]

I've been substitute teaching while I search for a new job. Students who misbehave go to RAC, (Really Angry Children??) or ISS, (In School Suspension). I'm not surprised that these "children" at Abu Grahib misbehaved for lack of proper supervision.

I was Subbing at Garland High School when the poop hit the fan re the gang fight between Garland and South Garland High. The news made it to Fox News and the O'Reilly Factor because the gangstas' had video taped and then posted the mayhem on an Internet Website. When Tony Snow was told this, (he was sitting in for O'Reilly) he said, "What was the web site? GangsRUS?

We're at war and those Dombocrats better back off! They're politicizing this issue while ignoring the 911 families.

"Most are not specific. Some are pretty clear. The exact wording, it's hard to say," attorney Gary Womack told the paper.

What the MI op said to clerk-typist England: Hey, Specialist. Tomorrow we plan to interrogate Ahmed the Abominable in cell block four. Please direct the sargeant of the guard to ensure he is fed and showered and prepared to move by, say, about 10.00AM.

What specialist England heard: Hey, babe. Strip a whole bunch of Iraqi men naked, put bags over their heads, and then mock them as they diddle themselves. Be sure to have group sex with your MP comrades in front of them. They'll love it.

It's all a matter of interpretation.

[Smartass]

Good post. The truth is slowing dribbling out.
I'm glad English is coming clean!

Instead she told probers that military intelligence merely encouraged them to keep doing whatever they were doing to soften prisoners up

How does this absolve the military of responsibility? Shouldn't they know exactly what the guards are doing? And why is there a photo of the interrogaters watching the pyramid of naked Iraqis, and yet, they say they didn't know what was going on? Those photos were staged photos. They weren't "candid camera." Who wanted them staged?

[AZLiberty]

Sounds to me like "Don't ask, don't tell." Why are the libs all hot and bothered about it.

The attorney's name is Guy Womack, not Gary Womack. He is not exactly an upstanding citizen either.

******

In the Quadro case, the defense had called to the stand Guy Womack, an assistant U.S. attorney in the southern district of Texas, and a Quadro distributor. The day he was to testify, the prosecution informed Womack that he was under investigation for his role as a Quadro salesman. On the stand, instead of singing the praises of the product, Womack took the Fifth 42 times and clammed up.

The government is charging Quadro and its salesmen with fraud. That implies a culpable attempt to fool people. Surely, you'd think that the Quadro(" Tracker units have been designed to locate people from a photograph, as well as from a fingerprint. Thus missing prisoners, or escaped prisoners can be located with ease. The machine will identify an individual, no matter what disguise or surgery is undertaken. It has been tested over a distance of 500 miles, and will track, we believe, at any distance." ) guys knew that the device was useless.

In late January, 1997, Guy Lee Womack, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, resigned his office and agreed to pay a $5,000 civil fine. Womack confessed that he used his office to promote the Quadro Tracker®, a bogus drug and weapon detecting device. He paid $13,600 for distribution rights in Alabama, Arkansas, New Mexico and Wyoming and hosted meetings with investigators in Houston to show how the device worked.

The men were indicted on August 21, 1996 for deceiving customers into buying what they knew was a worthless device. Prosecutors claimed that the Quadro Tracker® was just a radio antenna attached to a hollow plastic box containing "chips" constructed of paper and plastic. The device was sold primarily to law enforcement agencies and school districts.

Which major presidential candidate once said this?

"There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare."

When all is said and done with this story, I belive the root of this evil will fall at the feet of one pathological, redneck prison guard.
