The Fog of war....
When our leaders condone or encourage torture, murder, or rape in Iraq, Gitmo, or anywhere else... This puts our captured troops at more risk. The Geneva Accords protect our own. A refusal to respect these accords has hurt our people, ruined our reputation, lost us credibility, and squandered the solidarity once extended by our allies. The arrogant and amoral behaviors of Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush are where the buck stops. We need to restore integrity, civil law, constitutional guarantees, and accountability. We were misled into this war, and it has become an overt use of our military as enforcers for no-bid contracts which should not stand. We need to do the right thing. Preserving the peace is victory, surrendering to endless war is defeat. And war of choice is rank treason. Our Mythical Free Press
Rendition Comes Out of the Closet
Everyone knows about the
CIA's rendition program that sends detainees to foreign countries for
interrogation--including countries that are known to practice torture--the
Administration decides not only to acknowledge it, but to
announce it intends to conduct more such transfers.
US
troops probed in rape, 4 killings | Inquiry into Iraq deaths is 5th in
recent months
The alleged rape and killings
occurred in the ethnically mixed town of Mahmoudiyah The deaths were
initially attributed by US and Iraqi authorities to the sectarian violence
that has gripped the country, pitting minority Sunni Muslims against
majority Shi'ite Muslims. It was unclear yesterday why the soldiers were
there at the time and what they were doing. They did not appear to be
involved in an operation against insurgents, the military official said.
Soldiers raped a young Iraq woman in her home south of Baghdad in March and
then killed her and three members of her family. The woman's body
apparently was burned after the alleged killings, officials said.
And questions remain about Ishaqi, another place of Death in the Desert Comment
