~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Sabrina Harmon posing with a Corpse, A CORPSE....there were 400 cases that WE the American People NEVER heard about....and yes, CORPSES ....from Abu Gahrib ???? and WHERE else ? Black Prisons ? Gitmo ? Sabrina posed with atleast 8 (that I found photos of.)....There are MORE such photos, there are the ICE incidents, there are the Women and Children that were Held on the Shower Wing of Abu Gahrib IB,- WE need to KNOW WHY.....WERE PEOPLE TORTURED IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THEM TO FALSELY CONFESS TO CONNECT IRAQ TO AL QUEDA OR 911 ??? ( Click the title to learn more about Sabrina and ALL the crimes that went on in Iraq , that was Ordered by the Bush Regime and Carried out by Contractors in Iraq).There was much focus on Abu Gahrib and the "bad apples " and Lindy and a Leash- SOMEONE needs to ask about the Corpses ???? And about families held ? and People Held in Trash Cans of Ice - and YES, there are Photos...... About the Rapes, of young girls ? At the Prison? About Medical People needed to Stitch up the Dog Bites ? And yes, about the Corpses......And WHO Ordered ALL of This And Which Contractors "Handled" the Orders ?
( if need be do I need to post the rest of the Photos that I have found and that were sent to me by VETS ???......) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ President Obama has Broken his FIRST and Most Important Promise. Torture is NOT who we are as a People. The Bush Regime Tortured in OUR Name, there MUST be Investigations, TRUTH and Prosecution. On his 3rd day in Office President Obama did ReHonor and Resign FOIA Laws and Signing Statements that Bush had destroyed. ACLU has worked on this situation for many years, this is about Telling the Truth to the Public. Demand to see the Torture photos, if the Administration wants to withold the photos of the Soldiers - that is their choice....BUT the Rest of the 2000 Photos should be released. The Congress and the Senate already saw them Privately in 2004, so that makes it a Cover Up. 400 Cases of Abuse of "Misconduct", and how Many Corpses ?
I as a Nurse KNOW that Medical People were used to assist with People Being Tortured, I am not backing down, Torture was committed in all of OUR names.....The World Knows this and that International Laws were Violated.
And let's be honest....there are Many Troops that Know the Truth, and the Iraqis Know the Truth, and So does the Bush Regime......It's time we ALL knew the Truth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Support the ACLU....Support their work for the Truth....and Call the White House. The Phone Number is on the sidebar.
I have been encouraging people to Look at ALL the Memos, read them, and look at the data and the Photos. And I have been encouraging people to sign the Petitions, because I am trying to encourage people to express their Moral Outrage , Their Angst that ANY of this was Ordered or Covered Up For Seven Years and Done in OUR names. And the Public Out Cry must be loud to support and strengthen President Obama's Position in this situation. Many People expect President Obama to do Something to reset the Moral Compass. But over this week while rereading The "Memos", and the 232 Page Armed Services Report, and the Red Cross Report, as well as some new sites about Abu Ghahiab I had a striking epiphany. ( Do read my Earlier post this week on Torture and other Crimes it has much information did not know before, even corpses, it is linked to the title).
There is the very real possibility it can not be Investigated or Prosecuted by Any American Institution or Legal System and yes, that includes Attorney General and his team....that ALL the Data and Evidence will have to be turned over to the International Courts.....but it does not mean we should not Demand Truth and Justice.
(1) There is a problem with the Current AG and JD Investigating and Prosecuting this case. Under Bush it now appears that His Legal Officials and Team Rewrote and Manipulated Laws to Protect Their Orders. They performed semantic surgery on Our Moral and Legal Codes at the Highest Level to carry our Orders and Protect the White House. So the Justice Department and Our Laws were indeed Compromised at the Very Highest Level to Legalize War Crimes. In the History of World Events this was only prosecuted one other time when a Leader manipulated his Country's Legal System to perpetrate Crimes against Humanity.
(2) There is also the very real possibility that because it involves Crimes in Multiple Countries that many International Laws may have been broken. The Geneva Conventions were violated, but that is only a piece of this criminal puzzle. It is good that Now Our Current CIA Director is closing the Black Prisons, and they can now be viewed or treated as Crime Scenes, and evidence may indeed need to be Collected, investigated and Gathered , even by Holder and then given to the International Courts.
(3) The fact that Multiple Agencies are involved in this Situation, including Military, CIA, Intel Agencies, FBI, Justice Department, and yes, Paid Contractors and yes, that the White House indeed Orchestrated and ORDERED these Events. It also Ordered Medical Personnel, Doctors and Nurses and Medics to participate and Facilitate the events. WHO could possibly review and investigate ALL of this Evidence. Thankfully the ALCU with FOIA Process has indeed requested thousands of pages of documents and photos and video that once release show the shame and Horror of this. And the Public should be shown The Truth. Another real concern is that a Special Prosecutor or Team would keep all of the Evidence Private, hidden, Secret, we need to see the Truth.
(4) And I can not help but worry how Bush Infested is the Current Justice Department ? Has he cleaned house ? Does he have enough of a New Team to Investigate Torture ? Is it possible that he would still have to turn the Investigation and Date to A Higher Court, an International Court ?
(5) Secretary Gates said on April 23rd Statement to the Press that he and his team do not support ANY Secrets, which means that he wants the truth Public. Hours Later the Pentagon did state they plan to release more than 2000 Photos, and the photos tell the story and show the cruel inhumane treatment, and show it was Systemic. ( ACLU had expected 40 photos via FOIA, but it will be 400 cases with over 2000 photos). These Photos will more than crumble the Bad Apple Defense, they will show Methodical Ordered Torture.
As you listen to this Song..." This is not America" that David Bowie performed in 2000 and wrote in the 80's, before this moral downfall started....scroll down and look at the photos and posts below....there is plenty to ponder and take to heart....and do click the title, it has my most extensive post on Torture in 5 years and many links full of Evidence and photos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Symphony of Lies...The Question is did the Bush Regime Order and Legalize Torture to try to Force the Connection Between Saddam and Al Queda, did they Commit War Crimes in an attempt to Justify an Illegal War....is THAT What It was All about....ask yourself.
click the title to Huffpost- they are working on this angle.....and have found some results...We should investigate how many watched or particpated or refused and suffered anguish over this...or Worse. And also ask Some Real Hard Questions about the PTSD rates.
