Sad, Sad Shit

Yes, it most definitely is. The veteran learned today of allegations that some of his fellow military members have been participating in orchestrated rapings of children at the nefarious Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. Yes, this is sick. According to the accusation, this technique is being used to coerce information from the parents of these children, themselves prisoners. When did we stoop so low? WHY did we do this? If anyone can prove these allegations false, please tell us. This is about as sick as it gets. More can be found over at Daily Kos.

In other news, the port deal has officially been sacked. The House voted overwhelmingly to stop the deal, and Dubai Ports World, the UAE-owned company that would have been taking over, has rescinded any claim to the operations of our ports. The full story is over at Yahoo!

That's about the gist of it today. The veteran is tired now. Back to Law & Order...

I'd like to see a bit more evidence than Seymour Hersh's promise that the tapes exist.

Not me, man. Personally, I'd like absolute proof they DON'T... The possibility alone is enough to make me sick and pissed off.

How can you prove that a tape doesn't exist? That doesn't strike me as a logical possibility.

Given, one can't prove a negative... You're certainly right on that one. How about, say, proving the falsehood of said tapes, or proving that the people in question don't actually have them? The point, after all, is that it's sick, and I'm hoping, as I'm sure you are, that it didn't actually happen.

I sure hope that it didn't happen. If it did, throw the perps in prison for life.

I'm just hesitant to jump on this story because many wacko allegations have come out against US troops. Let's wait and see if this tape surfaces.
