America -- and the world -- has the right to know what was done in our name.

    Attn: Steve Cseplo, Joe Duke, Daniel O. White, Brett Et Al.

    You people, and the countless other cattle mooing around out there across our country, make me physically ill. So, what the detainees at Abu Ghraib went through is no big deal, huh? I guess in that case you wouldn't mind if someone subjected your wife/fiance/girlfriend and/or kids to the same treatment.

    Oh, but they're innocent.

    SO ARE 60+ % OF THE DAMNED DETAINEES!!

    While I am not "ashamed" to be an American, I am ashamed of America as it is currently constituted both socio-culturally and socio-politically. It is an almost wholly malevolent force in the world today, and it gets the "almost" only because of the few brave and good citizens who strive to make the world a better place, whatever their occupation and wherever they may be.

    The rest of you can go fuck yourselves, preferrably with a sharp, metallic object. And speaking of objects up one's ass, I suppose you gibbering idiots think having a banana crammed up one's rectum is a "mild", perhaps even "pleasant" experience? Sure it is.

    And now a Kudo to Patricia Schwarz for pointing out the glaring national disgrace that is prison abuse. Talk about the chickens coming home to roost - those folks are right here, and society now owes THEM a debt.
