Kimmitt, the spokesman in Iraq at the time of the Abu Ghraib scandal , said he believes the photos show the acts of an isolated few.

After months of investigation, Kimmitt said the number of U.S. military troops involved in acts of abuse has been found to be very limited.

Asked by al-Jazeera if such pictures are a problem, Kimmitt said they are certainly a ``tool'' and some will try to use them to show the U.S. military in a negative light.

``The two scandals confirm the image about the Americans known in the Middle East: that the Americans are not a charity or a humanitarian organization that is leading an experiment of democracy,'' said Sateh Noureddine, managing editor of the Lebanese leftist newspaper As-Safir. ``Rather, (the U.S. government) is leading a retaliatory operation following the Sept. 11 attacks.''

1. And I've got some swamp land to sell you cheap!

Those photos are only a partial amount of what was acturally taken and the thousands of ones we aren't allowed to see are supposedly so horrible that that's why we can't see them! And then there are the acts that weren't photographed.

So, bunkerboy's attorney had to jump thru gymnastics to decide how far they could go, what was and what was not TORTURE, because it was all an acedemic mind game?

And now they've got crap out there that says victums of TORTURE can have information used DURING TORTURE used against them!

But yet they still continue to claim with a straight face that we don't TORTURE anybody!

But yet we are to believe that our darling little boys and girls and husbands and wives playing soldier are oh so noble and innocent.

Support our troops!

I'll reserve my judgement as to exactly which "troops" I'll support, thankyouverymuch!

2. Killer Kimmitt is full of shit.

A liar. A war criminal.

3. Widespread torture and abuse.

The only reason we heard about it was because of the photos. A few thousand more are at the Pentagon and they refuse to release them along with 2K pages of a 4K report. Congress got the 1st part but the 2nd was inadevertantly not copied and sent. About 6 months ago it was promised that the 2nd part would be sent but never was. Anyone that believes what comes out of the Neo Facists is a fool.

Secret prisons are the real issue.

4. 'found to be very limited'?

Just the opposite, exactly. We haven't found the limit on abuse yet.

5. KILLER KIMMITT'S FLAG



REMEMBER THIS PIECE OF SHIT.





Here’s one from the BBC





Where is this bad boy?

When a new CEO takes charge, often at the top of the agenda is a new logo. What better way to
project the enterprise’’s newly redirected mission, not to mention the authority of the new
regime?
Someone must have been thinking along those lines in Iraq, where the beleaguered interim
Governing Council this week unveiled a new flag design. And a handsome design it is: a pure
white field representing the freshly reborn nation, a blue crescent standing for Islam, twin blue
bands for the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, and a yellow stripe for the Kurdish population




HERE IS THIS WAR CRIMINAL'S CLAIM TO FAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE.

10. Ummm!

they are certainly a ``tool'' and some will try to use them to show the U.S. military in a negative light.

If the U.S. military doesn't want to be seen in a negative light, then I suggest they begin dealing wit the thugs responsible for this properly!
