Is this breaking news?
The only thing our troops did wrong at Abu Ghraib was that they forgot which side the media was on.
I am beyond outraged over this atrocity from the stinking bench!
Between the ACLU and a handful of judges, we may as well not have a democracy. At every turn on every front we have these filthy vermin undermining our country, our freedom, and our Democracy. Something must be done to hamstring these arbutuses of evil; these venomous minions will destroy this nation like festering cancer that metastasizes slowly to kill its host.
Sedition needs to be charged!
Who will get blamed for all the innocents that get killed in riots as a result of the release?
I heard that earlier on the radio ... I thought those photos violated the Geneva Convention rights of the prisoners. Can't Rummy order them classified? It certainly is a national security issue.
Go figure.
The blood of Americans who are murdered because of this judge's idiotic ruling is on the judge's hands.
Any information on political donations made by this ditzoid?
Did you post this in chat or was it moved there?
I don't know how to use Chat
so I'm guessing it was moved.
Chat is just one of the forums to post in. But if you had initially posted this in "breaking" as comments show, you posted it in News to begin with.
WHICH IS WHERE IT BELONGS.
To Admin Moderator: I realize that the words "Abu Ghraib" make every conservative cringe but this story is important and NEWS, because this judge's "decision" is directly putting our troops in danger. We have seen the pictures already, so more pictures not already released are not going to show us anything more. They are only going to further inflame the terrorists against our soldiers, and cause more deaths. 15 people were killed when they *heard* a koran was in a toilet. Guess what their reaction will be when they SEE more photos from Abu Ghraib? Everyone who was involved is being charged... and so far, convicted. That should be enough for anyone. Releasing those additional photos is an abuse of power in the name of "freedom". If anyone thinks the MSM won't run with every single new photo as if it is a new atrocity never-before committed and splash them on every front page... well, God Bless you for your optimism. But they will run with them, and this action will directly cause people to die.
Google News already has 294 articles on yesterday's decision
Please re-categorize this to news, so it at least can be placed in the "War on Terror" category. Thank you.
