1. I wonder if the sodomy of children that Hersch cited is included in these photos
I've always been curious as to whether Hersch's allegations are true.
The world needs to know the extent of the crime committed by our military during the worst president ever, George W. Bush.

2. The worst is when a child has been raped even in our prisons they will go after one of those.
This unfortunately could be the reason. What would be so terrible that it would cause other coutries to look at us completely different. That would be it, most definitely.

5. You trust Obama's judgement to cover up for people who rape children?
:wtf:

The only legal, moral and ethical action is to at least turn over all evidence to investigators to track down everyone who participated and round up every last one of them for arrest and trial.

That should include everyone in the chain of command all the way to the top.

If he isn't doing that because of public relations reasons then he's Corrupt and doesn't respect the law. The law isn't something that should only apply to some people, some of the time, when it's convenient.

:grr:

6. WE MUST demand the release of these photos.
Obama is not this issue here. It does not matter who the President is. A crime is a crime. We need to see and know it all. We need to see what our government is doing in our names and with out tax dollars.
:dem:

9. Obama is the issue here.
I'm beginning to think we elected a pretty smooth used car salesman for president. It would appear he's protecting the criminals who condoned torture any and every way he can. Boy, talk about buyers remorse.

7. Let's keep this in perspective.....
To assume that the deplorable actions of a few, that occurred under the previous administration, are something new would be incorrect. Horrific war crimes against non-combatants have been a staple of war since war began. American soldiers are no different than most other armies. The vast majority serve honorably, would never dream of harming non-combatants, and risk their lives to save non-combatants. Then there is the small minority of individuals who are sociopaths, psychopaths, and sexual predators. The curtain of war gives them cover to engage in horrific crimes that they most likely would never attempt back in the States. There are some real animals among us, and some serve in our military. They always have, and they always will.

There are not too many countries who could pass judgment on the US in this regard, without being hypocrites of the highest order. Every country has, and has had mental cases in their military's who have engaged in unspeakable war crimes. The only exception I can think of might be a handful of Scandinavian countries.

Sad but true.

8. You know, we invaded a sovereign country and engaged in a war of choice and at the highest
levels of government ordered the use of torture, and if we could survive My Lai, we must
survive this. This war was evil and actions have consequences. The truth shall set us
free, it may hurt a bit, but it does set you free. Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld to the Hague.
Let justice prevail

10. Obama would be a fool to allow this to stain his administration.
It will come out eventually, and it will tarnish his legacy.
