Torture Edition
The major news media (and the population at large) is obviously to wrapped up in Jacko's legal problems and whether Kerry threw medals or ribbons. Because this story about prisoner abuse by American soldiers is absolutely shameful. For all the trouble these assholes go to telling us how much better the Iraqis are now, then spending our money on deliberate torture just disgusts me. Link
According to the U.S. Army, one Iraqi prisoner was told to stand on a box with his head covered, wires attached to his hands. He was told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted.
