PRISONS FOR CHILDREN DISCOVERED IN BAGHDAD
Agence France Presse ^ | 04/08/03 | Agence France Presse

Posted on 04/16/2003 12:44:30 PM PDT by walford

Accuracy in Media has also learned: The existence of children’s prisons in Iraq was reported last September by Scott Ritter, former U.N. weapons inspector. Ritter said that his inspection team had first come across a children’s prison in Baghdad January 1998. The prison Ritter saw held toddlers to pre-adolescents and was for the children of parents who opposed the regime.

The ONLY one SAD-HAM couldn't buy was OUR PRESIDENT, and he thought France, Russia and Germany would SCARE our President away from invasion.

Was Scott at the children's prison looking for a date? I guess they don't have child sex laws in Iraq.

Dime store psychiatry alert!

Here's my own read on this. Ritter saw and was alarmed by the prisons. It made him mad. He beacme a loose cannon. In the Senate hearings Biden busted him, something snapped -- Ritter was vanquished before the alpha dog or some such rot. Ritter however tried to work through his feelings regarding the abused children in Iraqi prisons by redirecting that feeling into sexually caring for random acquantices in "Kiddie" interent chat-rooms -- even though he knew many of those kiddies were other role-playing adults and internet cops. That assuaged his inner morality's sense of vanquishment -- consistent with the "everything is perverted and wasted" sense that came with that vanquishment.

To further wear that perversion's hair shirt -- to complete his sense of "submission" to the dark side -- he took up the Iraqi Regime's cause.

End dime store psychiatry,

Guess what? He Was CURED!!!!!!!!!! and what better way to end the spread of "Lucifer's" offspring? [I THINK HE GOT OFF EASY].

Funny how the underground and "sealed in concrete by the vacating regime" adult prisons/torture chambers are also being ignored by the media.
Perhaps funny is the wrong word.....

"Intimidation and Coercion: In the past, Iraq did not hesitate to use pressure tactics to obtain information about the inspectors. Often the pressure was quite crude. During the UNSCOM period, one inspector was reportedly filmed in a compromising situation and blackmailed." - Source : Wolfowitz Comments before Council on Foreign Relations

There's no telling who this inspector was, but it would certainly be interesting to find out for sure.

I take it the idiots at DU don't know that even the Iraqi regime referred to these prisons as "prisons." They did not refer to them as "orphanages" and they made no secret about what those places were for and caring for kids in order to adopt them out was not one of them.

The Saddam-loving idiots at DU are the very first to apply the word "orphanage" to these places. The reason it hasn't come up before is because everyone but the idiots at DU know the kids are not orphaned but actually have FAMILIES, and the families are waiting outside the walls in the hopes of seeing the youngsters again. Orphans by definition do not have families.

We read this and think how terrible. But we have a bureaucracy here in the US doing the same type of thing.
Support us and do what we say. Or we WILL take your kids
There have been more than one case were parents have been told this. If they resisted putting there kids on drugs. Or not raising there way.
Now this is not to the same degree but it’s a start. show’s what happens when bureaucracy goes unchecked.
Let the leftist liberal RAT’s have there way. this is were it will go!
