The Torture Memos Released Deal With 2 Detainees, We Need Details on Abu Ghraib and Gitmo
The horrors we have read of this week are the tip of an enormous iceberg. Thousands of detainees were abused and tortured in worse ways than have been admitted so far. Limbs were broken, rape and sodomy occured.

Hundreds of detainees died in US custody, at least dozens were murdered by interrogators. Innocent men, women and children were abducted and tortured in Abu Graib.

And, it all was sanctioned.

More were tortured in Guantanamo Bay. The release of memos relating to two high profile detainees is a step in the right direction, but we have miles to walk.

2. In all the talk about torture, techniques used in Abu Ghraib by the Bush** administration
are not discussed- by anybody.

3. Everyone acts as if the low ranking couple that went to jail closed the
case.

Not, by a long shot. Abu Ghraib's torture will get Rummy and the criminals in the DoD.

The legal memos will sink those in the Gonzo, Yoo, Addington and the DoJ.

All roads lead to Dickie and Boooosh.

4. Abu Graib was military. Separate from Gitmo. Might run into fan
blades on this.

Geez, we fixed this all years ago when America sent Lyndie England to prison for a few years.

The little people have already paid the price for all this, thanks to Lyndie.

Don't you people know by now that American Justice only applies to THE LITTLE PEOPLE?

America is now run by people ABOVE THE LAW. Just like what the Founding Fathers wanted all along!

Now, could all you DU bleeding hearts just GET OVER IT!
