I know, I need to "face the harsh reality", but what good does it do to torture our enemies. If someone tortured my family I'd be heartbroken. It's a proven viscious cycle where people devote their precious lives to revenge. I hope I live to see the day when this comes to an end.<br /> We obviously all belong to a greater, higher power that loves us all. Doesn't this make us like brothers and sisters that just don't share the same beliefs? No matter how wrong you view your siblings, no matter what they do, you still treat them with love and respect. <br /> My point: is there really any justifiable reason to treat people so inhumanely? It makes me sad to think that even after times like the Holocaust that we still haven't learned from our mistakes. <br /><br />Show them love, and they shall show some in return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-88392923059028304552010-04-03T07:03:16.316-07:002010-04-03T07:03:16.316-07:00Hello, Sorry about my English.

Or your brother ?<br />How would you like that?<br /><br />And when they come home from the war, they read the Bible? And greet their children.<br />Is this the world of the great and smart people? Of course it's a war, but not at this way. I'm sure, I swear that this people are innocent, ( or something like that ).<br />But the soldiers who care the resposibility of this pictures, will see the hell.. and the people you see on the picture, will see the heaven, accept that pussy who's hitting the guy's. <br /><br />Think about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-44581310214276435792009-10-08T22:03:54.883-07:002009-10-08T22:03:54.883-07:00Let's just put things in perspective in 10 eas...Let's just put things in perspective in 10 easy steps, in increasing order of importance.. :)<br /><br />#10.

I'm a libertarian, Not a democrat, nor a liberal.<br /><br />Libertarians belive in freedom and the protection of ones own rights. One's rights extend up to the point, but not stepping on it, where you would be interfereing with others' rights.<br /><br />Torture is wrong. It is illegal. It is immoral. It is against the decency of being an American. As far as I am concerned, both Bush and Obama as presidents, suck.<br /><br />Guatananmo had all of 800 people and only three were convicted of any crime? None of those crimes can be considered in any form 'terrorist' in nature.<br /><br />That none of the peope above was tried or convicted of being a terrorist is almost an automatic conclusion.<br /><br />There was a Congressman, I forget who at the moment, that investigated on how well 'enhancced interrogation' (torture) techniques have been in extracting 'actionable' information. The result of the investigation? Not a single instance could be defined in which 'enhanced interrogation' techniques provided credible information. However, standard interrogation techniques did produce results. The successful standard interrogation results were provided and then torture was applied.<br /><br />Americans, have you not looked at what makes one of us a potential terrorist in our government's eyes? Do you believe that the Constitution is our highest law? Do you believe that we should have strong border protection? Do you speak out against the government? Are you pro freedom or anti-war.<br /><br />If you say yes to any of the above, you are a potential domestic terrorist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862598964164092583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-79655723433263353242009-09-11T07:30:16.280-07:002009-09-11T07:30:16.280-07:00With terrorists not being part of a gov't, the...With terrorists not being part of a gov't, they have no rights.Kelsonushttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-x9kMPaucnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-19366269520399172892009-09-04T15:34:33.305-07:002009-09-04T15:34:33.305-07:00Obama's Address in Cairo, it is indeed very in...Obama's Address in Cairo, it is indeed very interesting to hear what the President of United States have to say about muslims.

This can happen if you are raped and it's really not your fault. Islam provides for that. <br /><br />Ask Nick Berg about cruel and unusual punishment or any of the other humans working in that part of the world (and others) that are beheaded just for being an infidel.<br /><br />I respect life but we need to stay on an even playing field with these people. If we need to roughen up a bit some terrorists to prevent (death) then so be it!<br /><br />Some of you people need to grow some huevos because if not, you'll be bowing down to Islam and your women will be slaves.<br /><br />theouterlimitz@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-64518495436934277302009-05-26T12:42:38.130-07:002009-05-26T12:42:38.130-07:00They should have just been shot and killed on the ...They should have just been shot and killed on the battle field when they had the chance.

Some were kidnapped based on gossip or were sold to the CIA for the bounty.<br /><br />* Even the FBI refused to be involved in the use of "enhanced interrogation."<br /><br />* The REAL reason for the use of torture was to gather "evidence" which would support the lies used by the Bush administration to declare war on Iraq -- including connecting Saddam Hussein to al Queda and his supposed WMD's.<br /><br />* Most of the information in Chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the 9/11 Report came from interrogations in which torture was used to extract the information. Those chapters cover the initial planning for the attack, the assembling of terrorist cells, and the arrival of the hijackers in the U.S. One of the detainees whose statements were used in the 9/11 report later declared he said anything to make the torture stop.<br /><br />* 9/11 would never have happened if Bush & Cheney had not totally ignored the August 2001 intelligence reports which said bin Laden was planning to attack the U.S., probably using planes. Instead, Bush went on vacation.<br /><br /><br />I'm not ashamed of America. I'm ashamed of all you "Americans" who have left comments declaring your support for the torture documented in these photos. If you had a conscience, you'd be ashamed of yourselves but you obviously don't.<br /><br />You make me sick and if ANYONE should leave this country, it's YOU since you clearly have NO CLUE what our country stands for -- NO MATTER WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES PRACTICE. <br /><br />But you wouldn't know about that since you're too busy hiding behind your perverted version of "patriotism" which consists mainly of flying little plastic flags on your SUV's and voting for Rush-publicans who really belong in prison for their crimes against humanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-71112788568024936832009-05-22T11:40:40.876-07:002009-05-22T11:40:40.876-07:00Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh More compassionate conservat...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh More compassionate conservatives.

Like "Don't show these pictures or our soldiers might get hurt"...therefore covering it up is justfied by this cowardly approach??...where is your courage, oh great Republican hero? <br /><br />Doing what is RIGHT, regardless of the consequences!! Now, THAT is the courage I think America is REALLY about!! <br /><br />I hear hypocracy over and over from these cowardly Republicans. Like Cheney putting all this effort to lobby FOR torture because it might get him off the hook - and to shift it to Palosi, etc. so that he won't have to face the music of his own actions....a COWARD!! - he simply needs to be indicted for war crimes, as do others from this COWARDLY group of paper tigers who think from a desk somewhere that it's OK to treat people this way. <br /><br />NOTE: What ever happened so good 'ol Sodium Penathol, anyway?<br /><br />There is this flawed, cowardly, thinking that if something the "liberals" want for ALL of America that costs money, it is not good...all that matters is money and profits for THEM...all they care about is THEIR PROFITS!! Such COWARDS!!<br /><br />If we are to support a capitalist system which rewards the FEW with tremendous profits, then ALL of us should benefit from this or we should abandon this system completely. Shouldn't we ALL have a good time here on earth, or just the few? Think about it..it's THAT simple. The system works ONLY if it benefits us all. To do that means that those who are up on the capitalist "pyramid" (due to their hard work and of millions of others) have the DUTY...the patriotic duty and privilege.... to pay the taxes necessary to create a culture that supports, loves, cares, heals, rewards, etc. - not to compete, but to work together. <br /><br />Never forget that a capitalist structure is ALWAYS a pyramid and not everyone is the boss or owner...there is DUTY in those positions. Treat the foundation badly and it will all crumble. Let's honor the workers...most do not WANT to be the boss or owner, but to be honored and cared about just as much...we are ALL human and we all breathe the same air. The worker's income should NEVER be taxed...not ONE dime....they need it for their bills and family, to survive and grow our communities..it is PEOPLE, not profits that create community.<br /><br />This is the BALANCE we need between capitalism and socialism. If it is in balance, we are all happy and good. If it is out of balance, we are at war. Which do YOU prefer and which is worth working for?<br /><br />There's the same flawed (Republican) "thinking" that making huge profits justifies whatever is done to GET those profits. Ask Cheney and Halliburton....gross abuse of power...this man (and others) MUST face justice!! Same sort of thing from the unregulated financial institutions, credit card companies, etc....greed is all that matters...thank you Reagan, you idiot monster!!<br /><br />I believe ALL war companies...ALL suppliers of munitions, tanks, etc. must make NO PROFIT...that's right, NON-PROFIT!!! As long as there is profit in war there will be war. Remember Vietnam?...this was to make money for these companies...the domino effect was (obviously) totat bullshit...who cares that 58,000 men died?...there was lots of PROFIT!!<br />No company should be allowed to make any bullets, rifles, bazookas, missles, tanks, fighter jets, war-time infrastructure (roads, airstips, etc.) for profit. Yes, this probably means nationalizing some companies...nothing wrong with that. <br /><br />I heard Gates on the news yesterday saying he was the Secretary of the War Department....yes, the WAR dep't...!! The U.S. "Empire" is continuously pushed onto the world stage by the Rocky Fellers and the WTO...the OWNERS, using our military and the lives of our soldiers as THEIR MAFIA.....as THEIR MUSCLE, to take the oil and command of the "region" in the name of "American interests". This is NOT about freedom, or saving lives or liberating people...it's about EMPIRES and MONEY....OIL and pipelines in Afganistan and Iraq. <br /><br />It's NOT about terrorists....that was all CREATED to justify the actions needed to CONQUER and EXPAND THE EMPIRE. Bin Laden was trained by the CIA...!! Notice he's not dead yet? An action to take him out was cancelled by Clinton...why? Because he is actually working for the CIA...you know, the ones who killed JFK and redirected history from "liberal, kind, loving and caring" toward "killing, profits and power over all"...?<br /><br />No, the CIA would never lie to us...RIGHT!! Just every day...they sell cocaine to raise money for "their" operations, yet controlled by the secret society of globel "owners"...the few OVER the many....WAKE UP!!<br /><br />JFK was killed for exposing such things....listen to his "Secret Societies" speech he gave just 100 days into his presidency (search YouTube)...now, THERE was a man with great COURAGE to do what's RIGHT, as are his brothers and family.<br /><br />I hope Obama does not sell out and can carry that torch of real COURAGE that we so desperately need....<br /><br />ALL OF US must stand up and be COURAGEOUS to this!!<br /><br />Separation of church and state at any cost.<br />Freedom for all, everywhere.<br />Community thinking, caring, health care and justice.<br />All resources belong to ALL, not to just a few...this means oil, gas, coal, etc.Tomajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896071332090351265noreply@blogger.com
