On the subject of 'Religious Torture'
It was recently revealed that certain female G.I.'s were caught smearing 'fake' menstrual blood on Muslim prisoners of war, and rubbing her naked breasts on them to break them down psychologically. And then they were forced to renounce Muhammad and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord. I'm not making this up.

And it's not the first time, the Abu Ghraib prisoners of war were subjected to the same things, forced to eat pork, masturbate each other, and smear shit all over themselves, etc. This is not so much physical torture as psychological torture. It reminds me of those old crusades movies, where Christians and Muslims reveled in torturing each other to death for their perspective gods.

Imagine an American G.I. p.o.w. tied to his cell bars, forced to wear women's panties, and renounce Christ and accept Islam after being deprived of sleep for 3 days. I don't think we the people would like that very much.

Who are the asshole pigs who come up with this shit? Our 'leaders', that's who, bush, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, kritstol, et. al.

Good God, how low we have sunk as a nation.

1. Question: What sort of woman rubs her breasts on a prisoner to
"break them down"?

This obviously isn't covered in any manual. What woman would feel O.K. about doing this?

2. Not a woman that I'd want to date
Obviously given to s and m sex, and when given the o.k. by Uncle Sam, more than willing to torture a human being for thrills. It's not to extract information, it's to humiliate a whole race, like the nazis did to the jews.

3. Don't get me wrong...
I like "breast rubbing" as much as the next guy, but I don't see how any woman would feel O.K. about doing that to somebody they're not attracted to (unless they were being paid large sums of money to do it).

4. If your wife was the p.o.w. & a Muslim guard rubbed his
penis on her to intimidate her, she wouldn't appreciate it, and neither would you. It's not even sexual at that point, but torture.

Breast rubbing is o.k. in my book too, but if I was a prisoner and the guard, male or female, sexually teased me for humiliation or information, I'd get no thrill from it.

I don't think these female g.i.'s were paid anymore than their usual wages. Some people, given the right circumstances, are sadists.

5. Agreed.
I only included the money qualification because there ARE some people who rub parts of themselves on others for a living. I realize it's a completely different situation.
