The previously confidential report delivered to the Bush administration earlier this year raised allegations of prisoners kept naked in empty cells, beaten by coalition forces, and fired on from watchtowers, killing some

2. Even if they were sodomized with a broom stick

3. If it is all just a bunch of "College hazing"

I wonder how many of the Freepers and CUers are willing to show there badge of honor for enduring their hazing

Maybe this really is what they do to each other. ;-)

5. Some how that maybe closer to the truth then we know

They obviously have some deep dark resentments toward gays then they like to admit

Maybe they only faked their displeasure
