The Good Reverend is feeling a whole lot of outrage right now,
and that isn't an emotion that he's used to.
As a confirmed pessimist, I am always (I thought) prepared for
the worst in people. I laugh when crooked politicians sneer at
the public, and I actually think corporate scandals should be
scored, based on factors such as amount, brazen-ness, etc. Hell,
they should probably be an olympic sport...
But last night, I read Sy Hersh's story about the Abu Graib
allegations, specifically the ones Rumsfeld referred to as "there
are other charges, very serious ones, that should never be made
public".
Those of us that are older remember Sy Hersh; he's the guy that
broke the My Lai massacre story during Vietnam. The guy has
the old fashioned notion that the press is there to report, not
cheerlead...and here's what he had to say...
Sitting down?
The "other charges" are this: US soldiers and/or Iraqi guards
under US command sodomized 15 and 16 year old boys, in
front of other prisoners (in some cases relatives of the boys), to
"interrogate" them (and the other prisoners).
Let me say that again: THEY SODOMIZED CHILDREN.
Aren't you PROUD of our military, out there defending
or kill me
