I'd dearly love to see the reactions of those AG victims, seeing themselves portrayed by a bunch of prancing ninnies up on a stage.

Not to mention the vats of fake blood that would have to spill on the stage. Well, I guess they wouldn't be able to remake the burial of hundreds of thousands of corpses since you can't dig into a stage.

Harvard is just about the biggest joke nowadays and this yet again proves of how the illiberal mentality poisons the minds of people. Liberals are just about the most intolerant people you can find next to these Islamic Fundamentalists.

These people remake a play about the "horrific" acts that America committed against these terrorists that were jailed. It's funny how the media protects these prisoners but doesn't mention that these guys were caught on the battlefield killing our boys. They glorify these guys and describe them as "militants" or "insurgents"; well, I say if it looks like a terrorist and acts like a terrorist, then it must be a terrorist.

I don't know what's worse, this play or the fact that their parents are paying for a miseducation at Harvard.

The parents may be every bit as loony as the kids.

In some respects, these are the most moving and revelatory scenes in the play because they remind us that these unfortunate individuals have families, friends, careers, personal histories, and, above all, human feelings.

It's always interesting how liberals gloss over the fact that many of these "unfortunate individuals" were murderers and rapists. I'm not saying that what happened at Abu Ghraib was justified by this fact, but I think it does show something of a lack of that oft-cited "nuance" liberals are supposed to possess. To them Military MP's = evil, Abu Ghraib detainees = pure as the wind-driven snow.

"In rehearsal we tried to simulate what had happened, and sometimes it just ended up being funny, obviously because this wasn't the real thing, it was just a play."

And apparently they can't even surpress their deviant sexual fantasies when dealing with an issue that's so gravely serious to them. Or perhaps it isn't really that serious to them after all, but rather just a good opportunity to exploit the scandal for political self-gratification, not unlike Teddy boy and the rest of the filthy Senate RATs. On the other hand, I might be overthinking all of this: is it possible that the play could simply be an excuse for the spoiled Ha'vard brats to put panties on each other's heads and form naked body pyramids? I wouldn't put it below them.

Yep. Most parents who still think Harvard is a quality educatioinal institution would probably think that this play is a wonderful use of the student's time and funds as well.

These libs ought to include Iowa's Abu Ghraib. Seems a group of wrestlers at little Avoca, IA HS as a hazing did some pretty awful things to younger wrestlers.

Among one of the perversions they did was to hold the younger ones down and the older ones rub their genitals in the faces of the youngers ones.

This happened more than once.

I've heard nothing about it for quite some time.

Seems if we're going to apply the same standard to what happened in this HS as to what the libs were crying about regarding Abu Ghraib, the coach, principal, superintendent of the school as well as the State Board of Education and Governor Vilsack should all resign.
