Prisoners Tortured To Death

I read most of the article you posted about the prisoners being tortured to death.  Sounds a lot like what they do to our men when then capture them.  But the ACLU doesn\'t holler about that.  They might tho if it were one of their sons who had his throat slit and had been tortured beyond recognition.  Where are articles in your paper about these things?

Off hand, I'd say the reason the ACLU doesn't get involved in torture at the hands of foreign nationals on foreign soil because they are the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union not the IRAQI Civil Liberties Union.

As to why "we" don't talk about Iraqi atrocities much is because the USA invaded Iraq, not the other way around. If Iraqis invaded our native land and tried such thing, you wouldn't find us writing about it then either. We could grab our rifles and go to war.

Insofar as your point could have come straight from Hannity or Limbaugh, are you one of those Pentabloggers or Zionist Internet Reaction Force people we've been hearing so much about? Here to defend your beloved socialist democracy against us free-thinkers?

Don't ask me how I know. Perhaps it's something about the moral vacuity in your statement and it's presumption that two wrongs make a right.
