Right now, the USA makes me want to vomit.
This is not only because of the torture in Baghdad, but also because of the lies. And the hypocrisy in the USA and in other places.
The minister of defence Rumsfeld must go. He apparently knew that the torture was going on in January, but he probably knew earlier, and there were even photos in the papers. Whether Rummy warned Bush is not clear. The lies collide with each other. But in a way, that is less important because the voters will take care of Bush in November.
No tears from me. To torment and degrade fellow human beings by hitting, whipping, pissing on and forcing to masturbate is the most despicable thing a person can do. And this is done in the name of freedom. FREEDOM! This is throwing oneself into a black hole without any hope of redemption or return. Saddam's torture was worse?
