Get a sense of humor Mazer. jcmd's post gave me the best belly laugh I've gotten here for a long time.
Ramona frequently posts just to let others like you bask in his magnificent vocabulary and questioning what he actually means is apparently forbidden. It's all entertaining though so lighten up. |

Alright, I'll lighten up. This is, after all, the one forum where drama is encouraged. We're not going to change anybody's minds here. Even when you get under my skin albed I'm still greatful for the chance to flex my fingers and my brain muscle, I don't get to do that anywhere else. Just remember that we're opponents, not enemies and I hold no animosity towards you or anyone else here.
Do you play chess at all, albed? |

Radical eh……or maybe I am a conservative masquerading as a radical who is really a Liberal….I doubt it because Liberals such as yourself spread their peace by smashing store windows, starting fires, throwing rocks and bottles at cops, block traffic, etc etc….I do not do that. Do you believe anything the media or government says? Or is it all bullshit? The problem lies with the fact that most Liberals have no credibility. Did they show outrage when Nick Berg was decapitated???? OHHHH Wait.......Bush, Cheney, and the CIA did that....RIGHT, sure thing....,yet when a couple of Iraqi POWS get naked they are outraged and shocked......... Libs hate Bush...but they have no problems loving a Stalin, Castro, or Mao........Leaders who murdered millions.........

Because he's probably young enough to count his pubes on one hand.

some random stuff.....
I found this kinda curious:
News Report #1 : (CBS/AP) Iraqi police detained four people in the killing of American Nicholas Berg and believe a nephew of Saddam Hussein was involved in Berg's beheading, an Iraqi security official said Friday. Two of the detainees were subsequently released. At least some of the suspects were former members of Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen paramilitary organization, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. They were arrested May 14 in a house in Salaheddin province, north of Baghdad. The province includes Tikrit, Saddam's hometown. News Report #2: Kimmitt told reporters in Baghdad that the suspects were detained by coalition forces during a raid Wednesday in the capital city. The whole thing doesnt seem to be getting media coverage anymore? |

u.s. forces have gotten way better at arresting innocent iraqis. where normally 90% of the arrests are bad, on this one they're only throwing back 50% - so far. and now george is going to destroy the prison. it’s a symbol of repression the poor iraqis can do without he thinks, and thanks to him now more than ever. maybe he actually read a newspaper.

Yes, punish the prison. The people who ran it can't be held responsible when they have to utilize such a sadistic and perverted building.

”In one incident described in detail by the senior Army officer, an aggressive roundup in September brought 57 Iraqis into custody. But a review by military intelligence officers at Abu Ghraib determined that only two had intelligence value and that the rest should be freed.”
Scant Evidence Cited in Long Detention of Iraqis Douglas Jehl and Kate Zernike Hundreds of Iraqi prisoners were held in Abu Ghraib prison for prolonged periods despite a lack of evidence that they posed a security threat to American forces, according to an Army report completed last fall. The unpublished report, by Maj. Gen. Donald J. Ryder, reflects what other senior Army officers have described as a deep concern among some American officers and officials in Iraq over the refusal of top American commanders in Baghdad to authorize the release of so-called security prisoners. Some of those prisoners were held for interrogation at Abu Ghraib in the cellblock that became the site of the worst abuses at the prison. General Ryder, the Army's provost marshal, reported that some Iraqis had been held for several months for nothing more than expressing "displeasure or ill will" toward the American occupying forces. The Nov. 5 report said the process for deciding which arrested Iraqis posed security risks justifying imprisonment, and for deciding when to release them, violated the Pentagon's own policies. It also said the conditions in which they were held sometimes violated the Geneva Conventions. General Ryder's report to Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the top American commander in Iraq,, was obtained by The New York Times. It was based on a review of prisons in Iraq last summer and fall and made no mention of abuses at Abu Ghraib. But it warned that the continuing influx of prisoners being arrested as the American-led occupation forces fought a persistent insurrection would strain the system set up to review each case every six months, as required by international law. "A more disciplined system would reduce the security internee population and inherent challenge of holding Iraqis that feel they have been unjustly detained," he wrote. The position of provost marshal general dates to the Revolutionary Army, but was re-established only last October as part of a restructuring. The provost marshal general oversees law enforcement and prisons, including those in Iraq and Afghanistan holding prisoners of war and other detainees. Since the scope of abuses at Abu Ghraib first began to come to light late last month, the military has begun to discharge prisoners from the facility at a rapidly accelerated rate. On Friday alone, 624 Iraqi prisoners were freed from the prison, in the fourth such release in May. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/30/in...30ABUS.html?hp |
