US occupying forces are filling Saddam’s Prisons
During the past week the US occupation forces have published figures on the number of prisoners they are holding in their network of dungeons and concentration camps throughout Iraq. A US occupation spokesman, Major Karol Patrick, reported that the total number of prisoners was 13,144 located in nine prison camps throughout the country.

At a press conference correspondents asked why the Americans were holding members of the Iraqi Resistance, since international law regards resistance to an occupying power in one’s country as a right and not a crime. This question was especially pertinent in view of the fact that the UN has classified the military forces in Iraq as occupation forces. Patrick answered only that he was not a legal expert and that his mission was only to kill or capture those who attempt to harm the security of the occupation forces..

3. 13,000 ain't sh*t !
We have 180,000 here in California, which has a comparable population. And Bush doesn't even have to pay $70K per year for a prison guard. I think he could do much, much better !
