White House ADMITS to War Crimes at Gitmo!!!
You know... The ONLY War Crime in that report that the White House denies is the Koran thing.

This is a tacit admission that ALL of the other items in the report are TRUE.

And they are hideous, horrible things that are comparable to things that Pol Pot did or which the Japanese did to our prisoners in WW-II.

The President is a Fascist Monster, and he is operating a machinery of systematic torture and death.

And they don't EVEN have the decency to deny it.

Amazing.

And his followers still claim to smell perfume whenever he shits.

2. Not enough, clearly.
We need to point this out as forcefully as possible.

16. What I'd like to see is someone in the press ask,
"Does the administration deny these allegations of torture and prisoner abuse?"

So far they haven't denied anything. :grr:

4. They read the newsweek story before it was released and said
nothing. I think they saw it and figured it would be a good political tool against the media.

9. As I understood it
Newsweek said the pentagon report confirmed the Koran thing, but the pentagon report doesn't confirm it.

No one says it didn't happen.

5. "When the President Talks to God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

7. good point benburch....
... also, why did the Pentagon not 'object' to this information when they 'proofread' it ahead of publication- as WP said they did- Changes were made to the 'article' as requested by the 'reicht' house, but not about the Koran portion-

This whole war is a crime- The WHpress agent who was so 'upset' about this 'mistake' sounded to me like a compleat ass, when has this administration voiced regret, or decried the 'BAD INFO' that cost several thousands of people thier lives, and futures-

White washed seplecures- Why do they hate 'us'- hell, i 'hate' what
'us' has done without my approval, expecially the lie of 'ensuring' honest elections-, if that were the case we'd be in a far different place today-

8. They allowed one point to go through in "error".
To discredit the rest of the information even though true.

And note, that the error is only about whether this incident is in this particular report or not, not about whether it happened and is true!

11. They don't even deny the Koran thing- just the fact that it was from the
SouthCom report. Just that one little itty bitty detail is what they're fixating on and most people are buying it (well, except on the net) because it's all under such a web of spin.

14. Plant one piece of false info to discredit the whole report, and to kill
the messenger.

Methinks people have caught on to this.

Great post, benburch.

17. It has worked for them before....
Shouldn't they keep running that play until a defense is developed against it?

It is part of their effort to discredit the media they don't already control. They can't have a free press with what they are planning.

19. There have been reports about the funding of death squads in Iraq
That's illegal, a war crime, but John Negroponte's in charge of all of the US intelligence community now.

22. "May George W Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq.”
Hilarious!

According to a report in the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, a man who was introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan – in reality a Cohen character named Borat – appeared at the rodeo over the weekend after organisers agreed to have him sing the national anthem.


After telling the crowd he supported America’s war on terrorism, he said, “I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards … And may George W Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq.” He then sang a garbled version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
