US Soilder\'s from Abu Ghraib: ""It is a common thing to abuse prisoners,"

-----------------------------
ANTIOCH, California (Reuters) - Three U.S. military policemen who served at Baghdad\'s Abu Ghraib prison said on Thursday they had witnessed unreported cases of prisoner abuse and that the practice against Iraqis was commonplace.

"It is a common thing to abuse prisoners," said Sgt. Mike Sindar, 25, of the Army National Guard\'s 870th Military Police Company based in the San Francisco Bay area. "I saw beatings all the time.

Sounds like this stuff wasn\'t as isolated as everyone originally thought, pretty scarey that this might be happening at other prisons too!

Hopefully only good will come out of this, in the end.

And hopefully the bitches that did this will get what they deserve, crimes against humanitarian law should have serious punishment.

Also, I admire the man who stepped forward and let the light shine on this (most likely) big problem.

As long as he is singing to be a good human instead of saving his own ass.

to hell with  the iraqi prioners

how did they treat our pow\'s?

how do they treat foriegn news correspondants?  oh yeah, they slay them, strip them naked and drag them down the street with a car
:rolleyes:

Sorry, but "an eye for an eye" went out with The Code of Hammurabi (http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/MESO/CODE.HTM)

Uh huh.... you use that as a reason to invade iraq then you justify the same thing when it\'s done by us? (talking to mm)

peronally, if i was in charge, i wouldn\'t have touched iraq

let those degenerates genocide themselves like they\'ve done for centuries

I guess that means you won\'t be voting for GW Bush.  

PS Check out the cover of The Economist, I just got mine:

I think that every country will eventually stabelize itself and form some sort of government where atleast a weak-form of equality exists, some places just might take longer.

Trying to shove the process a long only creates problems.

im not voting for either, im registered independant

like it matter anyways

I don\'t understand why ppl are making a big deal of this.  This isn\'t something new.  There\'s just more camcorders in the world today.

Probably because it is wrong. Just like when our soldiers or contractors over there are treated like shit.

wrong?  show me the 1500 mile march thru the snow, or the gas ovens, or the cross lines roads, or even the mass burial pits

now thats wrong

Headlines in Arab newspapers tomorrow:

"mm says:  What\'s the big deal?  At least we\'re not as bad as the Nazis!"

:rolleyes:

Nice.

I\'ll tell you what is wrong with this. We, Americans, are being labeled as hypocrites. Bush spoke of peace and love for those people and what do they get?

It doesn\'t say much when you back up cruel events like that with "so they did it too!" statements. It doesn\'t say much about us, our country and our values.
