Prisoner Abiuse: Another precinct heard from
From IRAQ the Model Blog - what at least one Iraqi thinks about the prisoner abuse:Gharib, other parts of the picture. Yesterday a friend of mine, whoâs also a doctor, visited us. After chatting about old memories, I asked him about his opinions on the current situations in Iraq. Iâve always known this friend to be apathetic when it comes to politics, even if it means whatâs happening in Iraq. It was obvious that he hadnât change and didnât show any interest in going deep into this conversation. However when I asked him about his opinion on GWB response to the prisonersâ abuse issue, I was surprised to see him show anger and disgust as he said: - This whole thing makes me sick. - Why is that?! I asked. - These thugs are treated much better than what they really deserve! - What are you saying!? You canât possibly think that this didnât happen! And theyâre still human beings, and there could be some innocents among them. - Of course it happened, and Iâm not talking about all the prisoners nor do I support these actions, and there could be some innocents among them, but I doubt it. - Then why do you say such a thing? - Because these events have taken more attention than they should. - I agree but there should be an investigation on this. There are other pictures that were shown lately, and there are talks about others that will be shown in the near future. - Yes, but what happened cannot represent more than 1% of the truth. - Oh I really hope there would be no more than that. - No, thatâs not what I meant. What Iâm saying is that these events are the exception and not the rule. - How do you know that!? I must say I agree with your presumption, but I donât have a proof, and I never thought youâd be interested in such issue! - I was there for a whole month!
