#1 Mike, if you're just going to post opinion pieces of your own, and I think this post counts as such, the way you've presented it... pricing information for typepad can be found here.

As for the actual content, it all seems to revolve around the idea that putting women's underwear on someone's head and taking pictures would constitute effective torture of the sorts of hard cases who blow up busses full of schoolkids and say it's the will of allah, and that it really was an approved military intelligence program.

Other nonsensical ideas are that higher-ups would approve of the program, and then turn around and prosecute the people implementing it, _long before_ it became public knowledge. If they were that evil to want to abuse prisoners and get away with it, all they had to do was give in to the blackmail these pathetic excuses of soldiers and their relatives tried to do earlier this year.

As it is now, it appears the surest way to get derided in the public press by the hypocritical "enlightened people" as a war criminal is to actually go ahead and prosecute what war crimes you discover committed by the troops.

#2 Phil: The posting itself is entirely factual and newsworthy. The only opinion here is that Cambone might be a cellmate of the seven "bad apples." It's an absolute certainty that he'll go to prison for perjury.

#3 Mike, if reportage by Seymour Hersch were all it took to put someone away, yeah, he might be certain that he'd go to jail for perjury, but he'd have about eighty percent of the DoD (including soldiers) going to jail along with him, and we wouldn't have an army left to defend ourselves (or we'd have to get the BATF's armored platoon to work together with the Michigan Militia as the infantry).

#4 I was tortured when I became a shellback. I've repressed it all these years. [tears streaming down my face]

#5 Excellent points, Phil! Thank you.
It's clear that MS wants to "clean house" at the Pentagon and probably stop the war with the help of Seymour "I broke My Lai" Hersh.
Good luck with that!
This "prison abuse" story has had about all the legs a faux story should have.
The only thing that made it a "story" for the Left were the tabloid-friendly pictures.
But there is no "there" there and it's time for this 2-week funhouse ride from Hell of the American people to end.
IslamoFacism and the Partisan Media delenda est.

#6 Super Hose,
Don't forget the blue nose and golden dragons.
Some of those were almost as bad as the "prison abuse" photos and we all did it voluntarily. And I don't even want to remember my chiefs initiation. Luckily, I can't remember most of it.
