  • Habit4ming, on 07/20/2008, -10/+65This video portrays the most inhumane treatment of prisoners that I have ever encountered. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. The torturers (guards) deserved stiffer prison sentences than what they received, and their superiors should also be held accountable. Please everyone pass this on to others. Notify your newspapers; contact your Congressmen/women with links. Every adult American needs to know what's been done in the name of the USA. No wonder we are hated! If we do nothing about this outrage, are we not just as guilty as the perpetrators??? Take action. Surely you can spare a few minutes of your time to stand up to this injustice!
    • thecatcantalk, on 07/20/2008, -20/+3"The most inhumane treatment of prisoners (you've) ever encountered"?

      You've seen a lot of prisoners tortured, then?

      How many hookers HAVE you got chained up in the basement these days? Dead ones don't count.
      • DuggRonPaul, on 07/20/2008, -1/+14thecatcantalk. Another victim of the public schooling system.
        We watched many documentasries about the horrors of WW1 and WW2 and vietnam. Even in my public school.
        You and the rest of John McAmnesty supporters disgust me. I wonder what your reaction will be when your parents and children get water boarded and tortured. Maybe for something they didnt do.
        what a monster
    • doctorfungi, on 07/20/2008, -4/+4If that is honestly what you call "the most inhumane treatment of prisoners" you've ever encountered, than I must say you haven't encountered much.

      Go watch a documentary on the holocaust, watch some footage of captured Russian soldiers in Chechnya, or hell, watch al Qaeda cut the head of a contractor with a blunt knife.

      All that being said, I am NOT saying that what went on at Abu Ghraib was humane. But it certainly pales in comparison to the things I mentioned above.
      • Spymodhf, on 07/20/2008, -3/+4I cannot understand for the life of me, why this comment is being dugg down...

        Oh wait yeah I can; Digg is full of mindless dumbass anti-American pricks who can't stand the sight of good points.
    • Stlouisrules, on 07/20/2008, -5/+3one word...Jews
      yeah
  • JeremyGrieves, on 07/20/2008, -9/+58My god its horrific. This video and this article from the washington post july 12 where the CIA told the administration that 1/3 of the people imprisoned are not guilty makes my stomach turn.

    Please digg this article.
  • JKap, on 07/20/2008, -17/+43Send your letters of thanks to one Barack H. Obama and one John S. McCain who continue to endorse funding in the Senate for this abomination of unending war and inhumane, un-American, cruel and unusual punishment. Maybe while O-bomb-a is on his dog and pony show in Iraq he'll have a look at this video available to the public.
    • ubergeek09, on 07/20/2008, -0/+5I'm pretty sure Obama or Mccain don't really give a crap about the Constitution either unfortunately.
  • Jeezopete, on 07/20/2008, -9/+50We have become what we are supposedly fighting against! Horrific, disgusting,shameful, no excuses for this! Bring our troops home now! Everyone that sees this needs to put in the face of of as many as you can! Its time to wake up America...turn off the tv and get into the streets!
    God help us...we are sinking into tyranny ...this is a nightmare ...we are losing our Liberty and becoming what we have been told to fear! This is not what our country is supposed to be about! Dammit! DO SOMETHING!

      • elephanterin, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1hey i think what you mean is that you feel a spiritual being is unreal, not that religion is not real. religion definitely exists- look what the catholic church did to south america...

  • clonestar, on 07/20/2008, -9/+41The Commander In Chief, by constitutional definition, is responsible. Both parties voted to pass the FISA legislation which grants immunity to Bush & Co. for these horrors. Thanks Republicans and Democrats.
  • King0007, on 07/20/2008, -8/+42Can somebody please post this somewhere.....so it will get 5000 hits at least. This is the biggest crime in history, right in front of us, with video..???? And why is this not on the front page.???.........Link, Link, Link....for the love...Help
  • seltaeb4, on 07/20/2008, -8/+49The content of this video is shocking—and not merely for its depictions of brutality.

    It shocks also because it is...

    Journalism. Genuine, unadulterated journalism.

    Most of us in America have never seen anything like this... ever.

  • King0007, on 07/20/2008, -9/+35Wow.......All of the great comments are being Dugg down....isn't that interesting?
    • JeremyGrieves, on 07/20/2008, -7/+20It's pretty sad to see it happen but they can't hide this forever.
      • King0007, on 07/20/2008, -7/+14You are right.....isn't it interesting that someone (or some power) would come here and Digg down the truth that everyone speaks? This is very interesting.
      • rearlgrant, on 07/20/2008, -0/+15Probably getting paid for it too.
    • Spymodhf, on 07/20/2008, -6/+2oh right, no one can disagree with anyone right?
      you retards actually think the government would go on ***** digg to "hide the truth?" You conspiracy dumbasses are hilarious. Please, continue pretending to make a difference.

      note: I will be dugg down. why is that? could it be the same ***** reason you idiots were being dugg down? seriously get real. the government is by far NOT your biggest concern in life. guaranteed.
      • pr0carbine, on 07/20/2008, -1/+4"why is that?" Because you are being highly obnoxious and child-like.
      • Spymodhf, on 07/20/2008, -1/+3I'm not the one implying the government is monitoring a ***** ass website full of mindless losers pretending to feel important.
        That would be way more ridiculous.

        Your comment has been dugg up by me to show any potential readers what you people are like. At least the rest of them weren't dumb enough to post their stupidity.
  • DuggRonPaul, on 07/20/2008, -8/+20The only way to fight this facism and war crimes is by joining Ron Paul's campaign for Liberty to Fight Facism, big government, war mongering, and a possible Police State.
    This is not only for Copnservatives. Even Liberals are welcome.
    Please remember that Fisa, the war funding, and the Patriot Act 2 passed in a democratic controlled Congress.

  • jei731, on 07/20/2008, -2/+37This is but the tip of the iceberg. US media neglects to mention the several hundreds of people that were tortured to death under orders of president Bush, for example in Afghanistan:

    U.S. Operatives Killed Detainees During Interrogations in Afghanistan and Iraq

    The American Civil Liberties Union today made public an analysis of new and previously released autopsy and death reports of detainees held in U.S. facilities in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of whom died while being interrogated. The documents show that detainees were hooded, gagged, strangled, beaten with blunt objects, subjected to sleep deprivation and to hot and cold environmental conditions.

    "These documents present irrefutable evidence that U.S. operatives tortured detainees to death during interrogations," said Amrit Singh, an attorney with the ACLU. "The public has a right to know who authorized the use of torture techniques and why these deaths have been covered up."

    http://www.aclu.org/intlhumanrights/gen/21236prs20 ...
    This is punishable by the death penalty under US law:
    http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=vie ...
    "The War Crimes Act of 1996, a federal statute set forth at 18 U.S.C. § 2441, makes it a federal crime for any U.S. national, whether military or civilian, to violate the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder, torture, or inhuman treatment.

    "The penalty may be life imprisonment or -- if a single prisoner dies due to torture -- death."

    • MarkEarhart, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Yes, and I hope to see all responsible parties, especially Bush, Cheney, and the administration executed for their crimes. Perhaps if they aren't put to death by appropriate sentencing by a court of law they will meet a fate far worse than these victims at the hands of any who wish to see justice served. I certainly hope so.

  • Spymodhf, on 07/20/2008, -5/+3I don't get the connection being posed between these few military rebels who were tried and punished for their atrocities and Bush. Besides the cover-up (their argument was pretty valid) there is absolutely no logic connecting the President with this *****. Guantanamo, yes; this, not so much. IF you can make that connection, THEN the rest of the world will hear you. It's called evidence.
    Good luck with that...
  • unlawflcombatnt, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7jei731,

    Thanks for posting the links to the autopsy reports. They're very interesting to say the least. (See: http://action.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/102405 ... ).

    There are quite a few homicides. In addition, the autopsy reports also indicate severe beatings and abuse of many prisoners.

    +Rhabdomyolysis comes from muscle breakdown. +Myoglobin in the urine means the detainee was peeing out protein from muscle breakdown. In this case, it was due to severe beatings. In at least one case, (#3156, http://action.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/102405 ... ), there was "hemorrhage of bilateral knee joint capsules." This means that SEVERE damage was done to both knees while the prisoner was being "aggressively interrogated."

    It's also convenient that none of the autopsy reports are actually signed by an M.D. Only a number is given. I've seen a number of autopsy reports, and I've never seen one that didn't have a signature.That would not fly in the civilian world. An autopsy report means nothing unless an M.D. or D.O. signs it.

    Some of the causes of death listed as "natural" are suspicious as well. It's rare for a 40 year-old to die from "arteriosclerotic heart disease." (#3140, http://action.aclu.org/torturefoia/released/102405 ... ).

    Are we really "fighting" the terrorists, or are we "becoming" the terrorists?

  • sapphire9488, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2This is disgusting. ***** anyone who does this, allows it to happen, and orders these atrocities to be carried out. I really hope that hell exists and these evil people will have to pay for their deeds... cause I doubt any other punishment will be but on them in this lifetime.

    I just finished "Chain of Command" by Seymour Hersh- part one is required reading for anyone who wants a good understanding of how and why this torture has been taking place. Amazing book by one of the few real journalists left...

  • MarkEarhart, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2There is absolutely NO justification for this sort of behavior other than reaping what one has sown. You know, "an eye for an eye."
  • vincebodie, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2There are two types of politicians - the ones who represent the People and the ones who represent their own groveling, greedy, heartless, ruthless, corrupt interests. At the start of this presidential race, among the two "major" parties there were three in the former group (Kucinich, Gravel, and Paul). There's not a rat's ass of difference between the rest of them, and they are all part of a sick system that condones and even rewards this kind of inhumane crap. Their day will come, and it won't be long... people are waking up really quickly to their game, and when it's over they will get what's coming to them.
  • Lynx55, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3This is the executive branch. This is Bush's responsibility. And those that support him. And those that refuse to impeach and imprison him. This is unprecedented in US History...WE are not the criminals. Bush and Co. are. But who among all of you writing these comments is willing to go public...to go into the streets...right in from of the white house. If it were organized, would you go? Think about it, before you blustter. Bluster without action is just cowardice. I protested in the streets IN MY wheelchair and got arrested. There were only 60 of us. Shame. Talk is cheap.
