No, it wouldn't be a 'thousand times worse.' The Newsweek article wasn't even the primary reason for the riots that went on, that was admitted by our own guys. Terrible analogy.
From Baldi, earlier:
Quote:Not really. The people who need to see the evidence already have the evidence. They are refusing to hand over evidence to people who have no bearing on the matter. There are people on this site who demand that the pics and videos be handed over the reporters or other such groups. I agree with the admin on this, these people have no reason to see those pics except to pass some sort of judgment.
You seem to forget a simple fact:
we are the bosses of this situation. The admin and the army work for
us. If we demand to see the pictures, we damn well deserve to see them. If not, we'll fire the whole lot of them just like any other employer would.
This has been upheld by a Federal court. That means at least one branch of the gov't supports this request.
Contrary to your assertion, Baldimo, the people responsible for these abuses have NOT been prosecuted. You're claim that they have is like saying that rounding up the street level punks in a gang is getting to the heart of the gang problem. It isn't. The guys at the top are the ones responsible for what happens under their watch! How hard is that to understand? I thought the Republican party was supposed to be the party of responsibility, but you don't seem to feel that anyone in the Military is responsible for anything that happens under their watch at all, even if they approved what was going on; because, make no mistake, the tactics used in AG were directly approved and applauded by the senior officials in the situation. And you know it.
Look at the General who came from Gitmo, where they practiced the same techniques, to AG, when the techniques started after he and his 'tiger team' arrived. THESE are the scum that should be on trial.
The American people, in case you have forgotten, have a
right to know the truth and a
right to pass judgement based upon our ideas of what is right and wrong. Why do you seek to abridge the rights of Americans? It's like you don't like freedom once it becomes ugly.
Even if it is ugly and dirty the truth still deserves to be out there. People cannot make informed and accurate decisions without knowing the truth. Your wish to deny them this is ridiculous in the extreme and UnAmerican, and we won't stand for it.
Expect this thread to continue until the pics are released; I'll never stop seeking the truth about what has been done in our name. Our Rape of Iraq is bad enough without stuff like this going on and I firmly intend to see people swing for this.
