Hmmm... This Mean Newsweek was Right?
Remember the huge Newsweek scandel from a week or two ago? The one where they couldn't name their source, so they retracted their message about a Koran being flushed down a toilet. Now, in a newly declassified document, an FBI agent wrote a few interesting things.
While in captivity, the US P.O.W.'s were beaten and sodomized by the Vietnamese. They are treated like animals. They desicrated a Soldiers bible by urinating on it.
There would be protests upon protests. Which is exactly what is happening. Conservatives run around claiming being the moral elite, yet condone torture, abuse, and desicrating religious objects to others.
There is nothing moral about that. You can't get much more immoral than what is happening.
Leaders lead by setting examples for others to follow. If we are going to assume leadership in this world, we must practice what we preach. Cowboy diplomacy is not the way to world peace, and freedom from tyranny.
One cannot make a man be free by holding a gun to his head.
"Personally, he has nothing against the United States. The guards in the detention facility do not treat him well. Their behaviour is bad.Imagine the our reaction to things happening like this:
"About five months ago, the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Koran in the toilet.
"The guards dance around when the detainees are trying to pray. The guards still do these things."

Americans should not be molesting prisoners. I would hope that American soldiers are better than that. Americans aren't angels, they are human. Anyone, shipped to the other side of the world, away from their family, to a foreign land, for years at a time is going to act in ways the average citizen might can't understand. You know that in our schools today people are being flushed on a daily basis. Ask any 13 year old pudgy kid who trades pokiman cards, he's been tortured by a bully. I am not sure what the conservative right has to do with this issue, although it doesn't supprise me that again the evils of the world are being blamed on christian white men. I do not condone the soldiers actions, it is quite embarrasing actually, the whole idea to go to war in the first place was a pretty big flop. Just be glad our prisioners are giving the prisoners swirlies and not chopping off their heads.
