What about MI Sodomy allegations at Abu Ghraib?
Advertisements [?]
Military Intelligence encouraged tough treatment of inmates at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. There were allegations that glow sticks and thermometers were broken off in inmates' anuses, on purpose, and that young men who were imprisoned, were threatened with anal rape.

That the right wing ignored such blatant pro-sodomy abuses in the Military, is proof of their hypocrisy, lack of morality, and relativism.

I've been wondering for a couple years now why more on the Left don't call them on precisely that. In (Against) Political Identity I speculated that it might have something to do with the confusions and compromises involved with political identifications and alliances in the first place.

It also seems that there is general cultural confusion about boundaries, a sort of torture and sadism culture, on the left right and center, from Mel Gibson's Passion to Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses. I questioned that in Demolishing and Afflicting Boundaries.

But maybe the truth boils down to what Underground Panther wrote in Child Abuse, Gullibility, and...

Your serious consideration is welcome. Flippant sloganeers need not apply.
