More Examples of Showing the Iraqis why "Western Values" is the Bestest! From the Chicago Tribune
A military intelligence analyst who recently completed duty at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (news - web sites) said Wednesday that the 16-year-old son of a detainee there was abused by U.S. soldiers to break his father's resistance to interrogators. The analyst said the teenager was stripped naked, thrown in the back of an open truck, driven around in the cold night air, splattered with mud and then presented to his father at Abu Ghraib, the prison at the center of the scandal over abuse of Iraqi detainees. Upon seeing his frail and frightened son, the prisoner broke down and cried and told interrogators he would tell them whatever they wanted, the analyst said.
Now this incident apparently occured in December and January of this year and came strait from Military Intelligence -- Lyndie England wasn't standing there smokin' & pointin'. Surely this cannot be the practice of we Western "Super Christians" of 'Mericuh? Actually, yes, it does seem to be that way. From last year, we were doing it then, using children as pawns. What these incidents describe are things that puts us all to shame. It is not an excuse of the "evil-doers" to say that we should be a fucking sight better than this!
