look, don't get me wrong, I am not excusing rape. But I want to know the whole story, that's all I am saying. If some GI did film that, that may well be worthy of a life sentence. and it had better really be rape, not consentual sex between two iraqis filmed by some pervert GI with a porn film director fantasy.

There is no "consensual sex" in prison between guard and prisoner.

It doesn't matter if the rapists were Iraqi or not. If they were Iraqi guards, they were there under *our* command. If they were photographed by our soldiers raping prisoners, and our soldiers failed to stop it but filmed it instead, then that's criminal and immoral.

Absolutely!

You are seeing "the whole story," oceanview. You're just hoping there are extenuating circumstances that help explain it away.

There aren't. The military is not making excuses; it is accepting blame.

This has nothing to do with pornography, or George Soros, and everything to do with vengeance run amuck.
