After viewing the nearly homo-erotic “pornographic” like photos and video clips, one could put an “E” rating—for morally evil-- on this sequel to the 2004 prison abuse scandal. There are many versions as to how this troubling incident happened in an Iraqi chicken coop, guarded by U.S. military foxes, but the origin is the most telling and indisputable.
Seymour M. Hersh wrote in “The Gray Zone,” “The roots of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal lie not in the criminal inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision, approved by… Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.” Called by U.S. black ops in code names (i.e., “Copper Green” in Afghanistan), interrogation of prisoners in Iraq is based on research presented by the late cultural anthropologist Raphael Patai in his 1973 “The Arab Mind.”
The book, which defined the psychological make-up of Arab peoples, became the bible for how to break them down psychologically and morally. Patai claims Arabs only understand force, and an Arab’s weakness is shame and humiliation. Thus, techniques for coerced sexually explicit humiliation were openly enforced in the prisons, and photographed to the delight of the U.S. MP guards.

"The Bush-UAE-Carlyle Group-Halliburton-Exxon cabal has amassed trillions since then in war profiteering military contracts, an incestuous racketeering firm, which masquerades as leaders for protecting American democracy. One must understand that there is no allegiance to the U.S. constitution by these thugs, who to date, have tossed our world into a swirling current of social destruction."
I agree that torture is unbecoming of a democracy, and a disgrace and an embarrassment to those of us who have supported Bush's invasion. But that quote above that Nadir provides is ludicrious to me.
"...that quote above that Nadir provides is ludicrious to me."
How so?
