You're the one comparing apples to oranges. The pictures released to the public were nothing compared to the pictures that weren't released, the ones that weren't released were too horrible and sadistic for the congress to even suggest that they be released.
Stop sympathizing and start loathing and despising the true enemy of the civilized world. Rummy is not the enemy.
Um, hello, I didn't claim he was, in fact, I've re-iterated that there's no connection to Rumsfeld here, certainly nothing like what the title claims.

Things Seymour Hersh has exposed.
So, should the title of this thread be changed to "I like seymour hersh", or does this infact have anything to do with Don Rumsfeld?
BadMojo
I could photoshop a document like that in the time it takes to type it...big whoop
Alright, which is it?
Is the document a fake, or are the claims within it lies?
Which is it?
"Don't hurt the insurgents. They're resisting occupation.
Rather, peopel are saying "Don't rape little children".
As far as the claims in the pdf being fake, this photo
www.antiwar.com...
shows a person in the same position as the man in the pdf described it, with the woman's panties on his head too.
That doesn't mean that the child-rape happened. But its disturbing to see that there are some factually accurate things in that pdf, what else is factual?
Also, lets stop pretending that every person in a uniform in an angel. Nothing that was described was beyond the capabilities of a US Soldier, since US soldiers are just people.
More torture photos

Can you really say that the peopel that did this:
www.thememoryhole.org...
Weren't also going to rape some of this prisoners?
And that the guys who arranged this group photo werent' dealing with some homo-erotic impusles of their own??
www.thememoryhole.org...
Are you kidding????
I can only hope that that is drool
www.thememoryhole.org...
You do realize that this is human excrement he is covered in right, not 'freedom lather'
www.thememoryhole.org...
The sort of sick sadists that beat other people for pleasure and smear excrement all over them, we're supposed to beleive that they are above rape?
And, again, as revolting as this is, WTF does it have to do with Don Rumsfeld?? Where's the proof that he ordered these things and approved of them for intelligence gathering?

You act as if it's "our fault". We "made them mad" so they came to get us.
We have a clear enemy and they are the masked figures beheading, killing
This is the enemy. Be clear on that or they will never be defeated.
They do not care about you and therein lies the problem.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld put in place a secret operation that, in Hersh's words, "encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners in an effort to generate more intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq."

...when only .001 percent of them deserve it. It truly cuts me to my soul to read the negative posting on our troops. If it is true than that would be worse but the sources don't seem to be reliable. If I am missing some credible link in this story please U2U me it so I can read it.

Seymour Hersh was also the first reporter to say we would not find WMDs.
He has won Polk Awards, and in 2004 won another award, over all he has won over a Dozen Respectable Awards, plus a few minor ones.
The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, personally authorised the expansion of a special programme which ultimately led to the abuses in Abu Ghraib prison, the New Yorker magazine claims today.
The operation, which encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation to obtain intelligence, was known to President George Bush and fewer than 200 operatives. It was approved by the national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, according to the report. The programme was governed by the rules: "Grab who you must. Do what you want," a former intelligence officer told the magazine. www.guardian.co.uk...
Colonel Pheneger is a highly decorated thirty year veteran who has served in various high level military posts throughout his career, including: Commander, U. S. Army Intelligence School, Director of Intelligence, U. S. Special Operations Command; Deputy Director of Intelligence, and has worked with the USSOCOM and USCENTCOM teams providing high level intelligence support. Colonel Pheneger is also a lifelong Republican
The ACLU also released an Information Paper entitled "Allegations of Detainee Abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan" dated April 2, 2004, two weeks before the world saw the pictures of torture at Abu Ghraib prison. The paper outlined the status of 62 investigations of detainee abuse and detainee deaths. Cases include assaults, punching, kicking and beatings, mock executions, sexual assault of a female detainee, threatening to kill an Iraqi child to "send a message to other Iraqis," stripping detainees, beating them and shocking them with a blasting device, throwing rocks at handcuffed Iraqi children, choking detainees with knots of their scarves and interrogations at gunpoint.

And really, you compare that abuse by a bunch of degenerate West Virginia hillbillies to the organised atrocities happening by radical Muslims around the world every single day.
Hey.... Thats enough right there.... Its West Virginia Appalacian Americans ...
Think about it..... why would Rumsfield give these orders? Exactly, he wouldn't.
I'm not saying it did or did not happen, just that the order and orders didn't come from Rumsfield.

As to your second link, I read it. it was an account from Abu Graib. That is one witness statement. We all know what went on there.
