Post office patron just went ballistic on me...Re/ Torture photos

[BeHereNow]

WOW DU, I just had the most interesting encounter
at my local post office.

I was standing in a very long line and a fellow in
line behind me and I started chatting, casual small talk
at first and then the subject of the global state of affairs.

I am fairly cautious in these types of encounters due
to the polarity of beliefs in this country- you just never know
if you are talking to an informed person or a Fox News addict,
and let's face it, these days, people are nuts.

I let him do most of the talking initially, so I could get
a reading on which side of the divide he lived-
To my relief, he seemed to be fairly informed and
distressed about the direction our country was going-
He could have been a DUer actually UNTIL the subject
of the Torture Photos came up...

People, realize this:
Even the "informed" among us are unaware of this
and in particular, the allegations of the rape.

He WENT NUTS! I thought he was going to hit me.
He said, "That's a lie- that isn't true, that didn't happen!"

People in the line were starting to stare, he got so upset.

I calmly told him that I wasn't claiming to have seen the photos
or videos, that I was relaying what Seymour Hersh had written
having seen them himself.

He said, "Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize winner- I don't
believe he wrote that, how could he have written that
and no other media picked up on it!"

He was so upset and declared that he was going to
look it up as soon as he got home, he all but
called me a big fat liar and warned me that
I had better be careful what I said.
I told him I was saying what I had read
and that I had no reason to believe that
Seymour was a liar.
I actually felt sorry for him because
I basically nearly caused his head to explode
all over the post office walls.

The point of this story?

Can you imagine what is going to happen if
these photos are released?

I am telling you, people have no idea and the
very thought of it, much less the proof, was enough
to send even someone who seemed fairly aware
into a rage at me for even suggesting such a thing
had happened.
