Sorry but I am a perfect RATmediaized American, I can't remember anything past three weeks ago.
Yeah, this is far worse than the Abu Ghraib crap.
However, because Americans did not do these things the media will not report it in the US. This is a one day story. Sad.
As an aside: If you want to stop slavery in the Sudan, have an American go and buy one slave. The outcry will be so great that steps will be taken to stop the rampant slave trade in Sudan. However, because it is being done by Muslims (who enslave the souther Sudanese Christians), no one gives a darn.
Murderous westerners against innocent third worlders, you get the picture...
It's so nice to know the War Crimes Court is in Brussells ready to try Americans for hate crimes.
I demand that Rumsfeld stepdown for this /sarcasm off
People forget about other countries atrocities, from the French involvement in Rwanda to the Canadians in Somalia. This is not moral equivolency nor is it perspective what we have here is hypocracy.
You do seem to forget that our President won't allow it. Of course Kerry probably would, yet another reason why everyone needs to vote Bush come November.
I can picture an editorial board reviewing this for potential to hurt Bush, not finding any, and putting it on page 23.
Other than the article and picture copied and preserved at #9 does any Freeper remember ever hearing of this story when it happened, on Clinton's watch? The silence was deafening.
roasted somalian i think they are betterstir fried
Pictures, videos, witnesses, hearings, we want it all.
Oh, I forgot they are Canucks and waffle chompers, not Americans so will they get a pass.
Fifteen members of the regiment were investigated in 1995 for "acts of sadism and torture" against Somalian civilians. One paratrooper has been sentenced to five years, following the murder of a Somalian youth, who allegedly had uncovered illegal arms trading by the paratroopers. Belgium is the third country involved in the "Restore Hope" mission to charge its soldiers for serious misdemeanours against Somalian civilians, including rape, torture and murder. In 1995 a group of Canadian paratroopers were investigated for torturing a Somali to death and killing three others.
Actually some Americans HAVE been buying slaves in the Sudan, as a way to free them. The buying gets no more coverage than the rest of the slavery issue. What we need to do is send Rev. Jesse and Rev. Al over there then notify some naive slavers that high ranking black Christian church leaders are invading their turf.
Won't allow it? The door is far from closed in regards to the ICC court, except for key individuals for now. We have not seen the last of that monster by any means.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the President's already made it plain and clear...not on his watch.
lol
Hahahaha!! Oh, stop, I can't breathe, excuse me while I go change my pants, hahahahaha!!
