You kill their families, and then set the offending person on fire in times square. That is the only justice for any torturer I can possibly think of.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm obviously being a little bit of an asshole. But I on the other hand have not commited such atrocities. :) I hardly deserve the scorn I'm getting for a msg.

You have quite a pattern of making stupid trollish comments like that, and I'm getting sick of your bullshit, that's why.

Yes you do, shitbrick. You just advocated setting fire to little kids in public because of shit their parents did!

What's the point of killing kids just because their father is a shitstain? Stop being such a fucking troll, h0rus.

This whole incident seems very reminiscent of the experiments done during the 50s with Harvard students to see how far people would go, when they believed they were "just following orders".

Einy, calm down. There's a title thread running for him now. Go vent at him there. Everyone else is. :wink:

And I have a hard copy. Its in one of my textbooks. I have no clue if its online, but I'll run a search for some of the key phrases and get back to you.

Look up Millgram. I once got into trouble for failing to clear a peer pressure experiment in college, the one where you get the whole class, bar one, to agree that black really is white, and see if they go along with it..... etc. It got 'interesting' in the department review.

I found some links to the Milgram Experiment (I think that's the one everyone's talking about) if anybody wants to read them, but I haven't seen a formal report on it.

I am generally not surprised in the very least that this is going on. The Geneva convention is a nice set of rules, but those casually get thrown out in war.

Does anyone find this peculiar:
"Frederick says Americans came into the prison: 'We had military intelligence, we had all kinds of other government agencies, FBI, CIA ... All those that I didn't even know or recognize.' Frederick's letters and email messages home also offer clues to problems at the prison. He wrote that he was helping the interrogators:

"'Military intelligence has encouraged and told us 'Great job.' They usually don't allow others to watch them interrogate. But since they like the way I run the prison, they have made an exception. We help getting them to talk with the way we handle them. ... We've had a very high rate with our style of getting them to break. They usually end up breaking within hours.'"

The CBS report adds:

"The Army found that interrogators asked reservists working in the prison to prepare the Iraqi detainees, physically and mentally, for questioning. "
It smells to me that this depraved shit was *encouraged* by military intelligence and government agencies. And now all we seem to be getting is apologetics.

I noticed that too. As sad I am to say this, this news does not surprise me in the least. It's not meant as a slight to the US military in general, the blame lies with those who lead and encourage it, but I was not surprised, more like "Oh, so they finally got caught doing it." It's a bad sign when NGOs are not allowed in to see how prisoners are treated, and when administration officials make comments like "We don't kick them to mush, we send them to other countries where they kick them to mush" or something like that (during the Afghanistan campaign, I believe it was).

The British torture of Iraqi prisoners is a real story- I'm pretty certain the Mirror isn't the only one reporting this.

Oh for fuck's sake- that cuntlick O'Reilly is on his soapbox saying CBS shouldn't have run the pictures because "it gives the enemies of America a powerful weapon- and that's disturbing".

He also downplays the pictures by saying the soldiers are just being "immature".
