Current Events » in reply to How to make America seem even worse - Limbaugh on torture of Iraqis: U.S. guards were "having a good time," "blow[ing] some steam off"

WindBaugs an idiot

I just read from a second hand source that he was suggesting the the iraqi prisoners where in those positions so that they could get photographed and hurt our credibility. . . (I supose he means not in all casses but a few.. . )

I remember Limbaugh didn;t used to be this bad. When I was in Middle School he wasn't like this. . . now the guys is just cracked.

However he does make a few points, and it a goo dthing that he makes him so that all the crap can be flung in his direction. . .

THIS WAS NOT TORTURE. . .

no one shoved bambu chutes under anyone finger nails.
no one actually hooked anyone up to to an electrical device (they we told one person that we did)
no one was starved and forced to work as slave labor.
no one had body parts cleaved off of them.
no one was flogged (some were beaten, which I imagine was jumping on feat kicking or punching. . . all of which is wrong, its no cat-o-nine tales)
No one was put in the Iron Maiden
no one was put on 'the rack'
no one had thier entrails pulled out of them. . .

this kind of stuff is what I always associated with torture. Up to this point it is at about the point of college antics, though still wrong (and those college antics are wrong too of course, they've killed even). Calling that torture is way overbaord. But I don;t see anyone in the media reigning that in.

there was one rape though. . . . that stands apart from all of what I just said.
and I am still waiting on the analysis of prisoner deaths, maybe some real examples of toture will come out of that, I hope not.
