This story has gotten more milage than a classic Chevy I tell ya. What were those people thinking filming that? I mean it is a given that they are who they are and they made the decision to humiliate and torture the prisoners, just saying if you were going to do it, why film it?
Makes me think of a couple conspiracy theories, like how convenient is it that this tape pops up making headlines for weeks? I can see how that could benefit the left (War for Oil and Human Torture!) or the right ( Keep the limelight on Iraq no matter what!).
Here is my issue.
Does anybody give a shit about what happens in their own countries jails and prisons? Here in the US, worse than that happens daily. Doesn't excuse it not at all of course. Just another example of how much messed up stuff happens everyday that we overlook and then jump like firecrackers went off when the media presents a particularly moving story.
How many you think are getting convicted for Abu Ghraib?
