Wonder why we never got to hear or see these videos?

[derby378]

1. You have to ask?

As long as Bush is in the White House, those videos will never see the light of day. My guess is that they've already been destroyed.

7. Once you've created a file named "Collateral Damage"

The banality of evil, and it's tendency to self-propagate.

[ThomCat]

10. So true.

Once they've dehumanized people they're the one that loses their humanity. It's disgusting and demoralizing how inhuman people can become, and the horrors they can inflict while still beleiving that they are good people.

8. Everyone in the Whitehouse who enabled these crimes

Gen. Taguba: Bush Administration Committed War Crimes

The Army general who first investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib has accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes. Retired Major General Antonio Taguba made the comment in a new report about US torture practices. Taguba wrote, “The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture.” Taguba went on to say, “The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.” <snip>

The Great Torture Scandal

McClatchy and other reporters are abruptly pulling the curtain away from the Bush team's illegal practices in arresting people arbitrarily, declining to offer proof that they were guilty of anything, detaining them indefinitely without trial or charges, and deliberately torturing them to the extent of leaving long-term scars and disabilities. The torture practices originated not with lower-level officers but with Donald Rumsfeld and others in Bush's inner circle, who then later blamed lower-level officials for developing the ideas that Rumsfeld ordered them to develop. Nothing they have done has survived a court challenge where one has been permitted.<snip>

A Senate investigation has concluded that top Pentagon officials began assembling lists of harsh interrogation techniques in the summer of 2002 for use on detainees at Guantanamo Bay and that those officials later cited memos from field commanders to suggest that the proposals originated far down the chain of command, according to congressional sources briefed on the findings.<snip>
