Some Stuff to Make Your Stomach Turn

This comes from my friend Shane, and upon his advice, turn up the speakers and learn something. It's time for a little history lesson about the basic tenets of fascism.
From Yahoo News, an Iraqi was murdered and photographed w/grinning US soldiers. The Iraqi's arms were bound behind his back and he was suspended from the ceiling.
British resident blinded during 3 year confinement at Guantanamo Bay.
This article comes from May/04, (I was not aware of this story back then) but it is just another example of how widespread abuse is: Iraqi man is dropped off at Tikrit hospital---in a coma---his family demands answers.
Set to release early 02/18, US Army documents obtained by the ACLU shows that abuse of detainees continues and is ignored...we gave the rubber stamp on torture w/Gonzales' confirmation...why should anyone be shocked that torture continues??
From the Guardian Unlimited UK, in Afghanistan, US forces continue to abuse detainees, but who cares right? We send human beings off to serve in the military, only to have them return (if they're lucky enough to even make it back) home to us as monsters.
