1. Holy Jeebus

The shock of the images is battling with the cynicism that these will never be shown pre-election by the Corporate media

2. If Dems were smart they should list all Bush failures from day one!

With every Dem quoting from the record Bush's failures (too long for me to bother) the elections would then be a landslide for taking back both the house and senate! ez money!

[Minimus]

3. I am sickened and ashamed.

:cry:

4. Bush: let me say it again, the US. does not torture!

[AtomicKitten]

5. these need to be released

because if I hear BushCo say they don't torture one more time, I'm going to torque a wingnut.

6. Seymour Hersh: children raped at Abu Ghraib, Pentagon has videos

" Some of the worst things that happened you don't know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib ...

The women were passing messages out saying 'Please come and kill me, because of what's happened' and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded.

The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It's going to come out."

This would be the classic October surprise if our Dem wern't too squimish.

7. the surprise would be if the Dems have the balls to use the photos/videos

The applause from the left side of the aisle would be deafening.

8. That's what bugs me about Dems - no balls when we need them!

[bobbolink]

13. Yup, I've given up wishing and hoping and waiting for bold moves

from the Dems.

Really--how bold would it be to talk about what really happened, and what is happening?

Is that really such a stretch???

sigh...

:shrug:

9. A judge has ordered them released

but they're tied up in appeals. No way they'll be out before November.

[Disturbed]

10. This shows what Busholini and his lap dogs support.

What went on and is still being done in Secret Prisons?

[deathdog]

11. WHY WHY WHY isn't EVERYONE outraged about this

and all the other crimes?


I just don't understand.

[Sam Odom]

12. It's old news

There's a new news cycle every 12hrs these days. I aint saying it's 'right' but the way it is.

[Hawkowl]

14. Introduce Evidence into Congress

These pictures and videos need to be shown in Congress during any debate on the Republican pro-torture bill. Introduce it through testimony and demand why hasn't Rumsfeld and other senior officials been held accountable. Why have only low level enlisted personnel "who ver just following der fueher's orders" been prosecuted?

If the Dems can't grow a spine and take a stand over this torture bill, there is very little hope for our country.

15. Can you summarize or describe pls ... if you can. My computer is filtering

bc of violent content.

16. The tallies never did match up from the Salon pictures vs...

..the Taguba (sp?) report. The Bush Administration never released any of the Abu Ghraib pictures, they only "verified" the ones Salon had been given. I always thought the Bush Administration leaked what pictures did make it into Salon's hands because it would put to rest the public outcry for them under the impression that they'd been released.
