WASHINGTON (AFP) - One month before the Abu Ghraib scandal broke, US Army generals were reportedly told that elite military units and CIA (news - web sites) agents were abusing detainees and "making gratuitous enemies" in Iraq.

According to the Washington Post, a confidential report by a retired colonel, sent to the generals in December 2003, said Task Force 121 -- a joint Special Operacions and CIA mission in Iraq -- had been abusing detainees throughout Iraq, holding them at a secret interrogation facility to hide their activities.

"Detainees captured by TF 121 have shown injuries that caused examining medical personnel to note that 'detainee shows signs of having been beaten,'" Stuart Herrington said in his 13-page report recently obtained by The Washington Post.

"It seems clear that TF 121 needs to be reined in with respect to its treatment of detainees," he concluded.

Fucking Rummy and his quisling minions testified that "Oh my goodness. I didn't know nothing. I am just as shocked as you are." Which means Bush knew too. He probably ordered it, the fuck head. This shit is beginning to remind me of what we have been taught about the Nazi death camps. I am not kidding you.

1. Of course they knew and ordered it. Gonzales didn't write that CYA memo

for his f*cking health.

Although it isn't fair to the Nazis to compare them to the Buseviks when the Busheviks have not yet really experienced Total Unchecked Power and may not do so for some time, unless LIHOP #2 comes.

Let's see what happen when the Busheviks have reigned for a Total of 12 years straight now, or acheieved Unchecked Power (which even now, they still don't have...almost..maybe after LIHOP #2, God Forbid) for 8 years straight.

Bet we'll see som shit then, eh?
