US Torturing Children

[GiovanniC]

No child too young!



"Water-Board that baby until it talks, dammit! He may be the mastermind behind this whole 'insurgency' thing. P.S. - I stand for eight or ten hours a day, so I don't want to hear any bullshit about this how this little crybaby can't stand for four goddamn hours.
- Love, Donnie"

God DAMMIT this is such bullshit. I remember when the biggest problems this country had was that its president got a little friendly with the help and employers couldn't find enough workers to fill all the jobs. What a difference four years makes.

1. actually what they do is torture the children in front of the parents

to make the parents talk.

It's not about making the children talk.

I'm not an idiot, I just play one on TV.

4. It's a joke about dolls that talk

You know, symbol of childhood innocence and a nifty new gadget rolled into one, icon of bourgeouis hegemony in the consumer age.

I wonder what kind of market exists for little extortion playkits? Hula hoops, cabbage patch dolls, pet rocks, pokemon. Stranger things have happened. I can just see Christmas morning in Bushco's America, 2004.

"Sally, take the cuffs off your brother, please."

"Not until you tell!"

"We already told you, there are no WMDs."

"You lie!"

"Iiiiaaaaarrgh!"

5. That Information Obtained from Children

would be about as useful as any "information" obtained from parents willing to say anything to stop the torture of their children.

6. I Understand Now

First of all, does nobody here recognize that picture? It was supposedly found during a raid on a Palestinian house. It's not a doll, it's a real baby -- at least, that's what they say. It was apparently dressed up like that as a "joke". Everyone in the known universe had a major fit about it.

Anyway, the point I was clumsily trying to make is that it is absolutely ridiculous to torture children because it's pretty much a given that they probably haven't done anything wrong.

I used Don Rumsfeld's comments regarding torture and applied them to the torturing of children in an effort to illustrate how absurd it all is.

7. And not to mention if a convoy is going by and a child gets in the way...

if they stop, the soldiers get punished. It's sick. I hope that officer fries in hell. KIDS ARE KIDS, no matter what color they are, and killing ANYONE is wrong, but most especially defenseless kids.

8. You sure that's not the young bushwacker

Before he got his pilot getup and codpiece.
All the freeps that I come into contact with don't buy the child torture story, mainly cause fox is not reporting anything.
