Preferred Saddams Torture to US 'abuse'


he doesn't say anything about being abused by UK soldiers

AP sometimes produces crap that borders on insanity:



Al-Shweiri said that while jailed by Saddam's regime, he was electrocuted, beaten and hung from the ceiling with his hands tied behind his back.

"But that's better than the humiliation of being stripped naked," he said. "Shoot me here," he added, pointing between his eyes, "but don't do this to us."


I understand that a fanatic in Sadr's private army would say anything to earn his keep, but, last time I heard, AP is not on Sadr's paycheck yet. Or, maybe I'm mistaken?

Yeah, they're so humiliated that they’re seeking out any TV camera that will show them. Strange - people I know who've been humiliated usually shy away from broadcasting it to the entire world. "Hey look everybody, the infidels made me hold some dude's wang!". Please. The media's job is to sell advertising. Non-stories do not sell advertising. Naked human pyramids are a media dream.

Whenever I think of this prisoner mistreatment issue, I keep seeing Jack Nicholson's face shouting "you can't handle the truth!!"

What a bunch of Bull **** !

What more can you expect from someone who is a die-hard fighter in the al-Mahdi Army, the fanatic militia of a Shiite Muslim cleric who has vowed to take on the Americans.
