Thread Name: BS: Photos here of Iraqi prisoner abuse
Subject: RE: BS: Photos here of Iraqi prisoner abuse
It's like a guest echo chamber in here.

These photos are disturbing. Not all of them have been on the networks I watch, but unfortunately, when the network news folks interview members of the military or administration they can't resist repeating the slide-show of a select few of these over the conversation. They need to be available, I just wish the News/Entertainment departments had some sense of proportion.

I dread the effect on the rest of the world that Bush's two ten-minute interviews will cause. The pud can't speak several sentences in a row without stammering, and can't keep a reasonable facial expression when speaking to American audiences, so think of the confusion and obfuscation that Arab-language audiences are going to see. He should let someone else do the talking--no one is going to believe a word he says, especially with his dim delivery.

Guest, this stuff does need to be available, but you're going way over the top with the accusation that all military are criminals. Is this our old friend/foe Dreaded Guest from down near Austin somewhere? Have you resurfaced for this occasion?
