Anybody listening to Randi Rhodes and the interview of Janis Karpinski
that Marjorie Cohn did for Truthout?

Really, grim stuff. She pinpoints the chain of command back to Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and the use of contractors in charge of the military to do the tortures and rapes at Abu Graib.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/082405Z.shtml#1

And I found this little website that has gathered together all the articles written on the torture matter in the print media.

http://www.crisispapers.org/topics/tortures.htm

We can't let this die. I for one am writing my local newspapers about this and demanding that they publish articles on it.

1. Will anyone else even touch this?
The MSM is scared to death of this story.

3. It has to get out in the main stream population.
If I have to print out flyers and distribute them with the throwaway papers I will. I hope others will do the same in their hometowns.

5. agreed-plus a media BLITZ by us
I mean,between the 70,000 of us,we can surely generate LTTE and emails to all the major newspapers,magazines,and television stations.They can't ignore all of us.And if we can find one sympathetic journalist with Balls(besides Randi),maybe dangle the Pulitzer thing,who knows...

4. Why did she wait so long to tell the truth about what was happening there?
Edited on Thu Aug-25-05 05:05 PM by BrklynLiberal
Randi IS doing a great job on it.

6. I would assume no one would touch it with a ten foot pole
until now, but even so just spreading it on the internet and a left wing radio talk show isn't enough. It's got to reach people who don't use those outlets for their news. I hope someone at Camp Casey makes copies of the interview to hand out especially to the opposition.

13. It is quite a little read but...
Edited on Fri Aug-26-05 06:46 AM by Hubert Flottz
once I started I was hooked. * Thanks for posting...

Her story confirms most of the things I'd suspected! I knew there was a big cover up in progress and I suspected that Maj. Gen. Geoffery Miller was the guy behind the dirty deeds. I knew the order came from the top.

EDIT: I think it was an attempt to get answers no matter what it took. The reason was political. They couldn't find Saddam or any WMD, so they quit playing by the book.
