  Kent,

  Notice that the source quoted NEVER WITNESSED ANY ABUSE AT ALL according to his own words...great sources there high speed...come on, you're better than that, don't let politics get in the way of your integrity.

  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41035-2004May19.html

  Provance was part of that military intelligence operation but was not an interrogator. He said he administered a secret computer network at Abu Ghraib for about six months and did not witness abuse

  So, as you can see, this HAS been reported in the states, but apparently they know w stinker when they get one.

  We have kids in prison? What the hell for?? We should just line them up by a ditch and machine gum'm like the Europeans.

  To be fair though, Al-jablowme is a really realiable source

  Europeans <-------------------------------Have no room to talk

  These reports may be mostly just allegations or third-party "observations", otherwise the leftist liberal press would surely jump on this "news" and embellish it somehow to bash Bush. The very reason why the liberal media did not report it is simply because it has no validation.
  

  On the other hand, one must also understand that children ARE now part of the terrorist "elite" as you can see in the following excerpts:

  PAT,

  Two important issues are brought up that contradict what Kent was trying to "prove" by this thread: First, this IS in the US media, second...these guys are being charged...tried...and if found guilty, punished.

  The U.S. military said last week that three soldiers, now back in their base at Fort Carson, Colo., have been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the Jan. 3 drowning of an Iraqi detainee. A fourth soldier faces charges of pushing a second man, who survived, into the same river.

  Kent:
  
  This is from last year: (Rense.com is 'out there' but it's interesting stuff. Sorry I can not imbed the URL.)
  
  
  "We have to sit on stories of serious physical abuse of Iraqi citizens. Most sensitive (and we put the blackout on this subject) are the numerous rapes and sexual assaults against Iraqis. Interesting are the unreported but fully known homosexual rapes...the real problem here is that US GI minorities are mostly responsible for these and Bush needs these votes in November so on with the lid...we donít think they can keep this shut up for too long...the Okinawa syndrome all over again." (July 20)

  "It seems that guerrilla warfare is a real thing. Too much looting, assaulting Iraqi women, too much Muslim-bashing. No discipline in the US forces and the commanders have a hard time in controlling their men. Protestors are to be shown to be "die-hard Baathist supporters of the evil Saddam" and show pictures of a "commando" camp with pictures of Saddam and anti-US slogans." (June 12)
  
  Since April, The Barnes Review News web site (www.tbrnews.org) has posted memos like this from an executive at a major TV network to selected News Division staff.

  More Than 100 Children Imprisoned http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6430.htm

  All in all one have to be blind not to see what's going on. Just try to write iraq abuse children into the GOOGLE search engine, and you will get so much evidence you need to be an idiot or an extremely patriotic American not to see the facts.

  Anyone from the GB (since when was it Great??) should also be ashamed of themselves - as we should in Norway. Our government were talking about our troops in Iraq doing humanitarian work, while the military personell stressed they were in war! In England most people wouldn't like their soldiers to go to Iraq, but the ultra right Christian Tony Blair wanted it otherwise. Of course, he's together with ol' coke-sniffing burbod-drinking Bush on his "crusade" to whip the nasty muslimiacs!

  Upon time these people were whipped real good - and sendt to the frontlines themselves!

  Tragic. I haven't heard this anywhere here, but don't doubt its accuracy. Some things that this country does, and approves of, just breaks my heart.

  Well, Mulan. The US government has supported all the greatest bastards in the world. And, if a diktator didn't make it to become the diktator, the US has always been more than willing to help out by starting a "revolution", assasinate the ruler, or whatever. The only demand was, of course, that the diktator supported the US and let them do what the f*** they wanted! What about Saddam Hussein? Whi trained him? CIA. Who supported him with weapons of "mass destruction"? The US, GB, Germany and France. Most of his chemical shit he got from the US to kill Iranian soldiers, because Bush Sr didn't like Ayatollah Khomeini. Ol' Rummy himself was in Bahgdad talking to Saddam as best friends and allies. Who trained Bin Laden? CIA. Who trained his men? CIA. Where? In the US. Why isn't he captured? Well, maybe he is, actually - we'll se a bit later in the ongoing campaign in the US. Some repports imply so. But they actually DID HAVE HIM in the Bora Bora mountains. The US had enough troops, marines, airforce and all they wanted. BUT - they left it to Afghan War-Chiefs - who were their enemies just a month earlier - to capture him. WHY? Ask Bush, who started this war to get oil-pipes through Afghanistan from Baku. And he couldn't get that oilpipe with Taliban ruling. The US history is a shame. What diktators and despots do they support today? Make a list, please. What diktators and despots have they NOT supported? That list is much, much shorter. Who assasinated the General Secretary of the UN in Congo? The US. Who assasinated the legal ruler of the country? The US. Who did put a diktator in power there? The US. The list of what the US have actually done is so long I'm amazed any country will ever trust a US government ever!
