#1 I guess I am cruel, but, until a Fox News employee starts claiming abuse I am dubious of the accounts. I take ALL OTHER news organization employee claims with a grain of salt.

#2 I suppose it is impossible for Reuters to ever realize how their own slanted reporting about all those "civilian" deaths in Fallujah might have resulted in extra casualties for Coalition troops. They're sure good at raising a ruckus when their own tit's in the Bendix but have no problem stirring up trouble when they don't have their own lives on the line.

#3 Ureibi, who understands English better than the other two detainees, said soldiers told him they wanted to have sex with him, and he was afraid he would be raped.

"I'm gonna f*ck you up!"

#4 As I understand it, the "news" agencies kept most of the Baathists who had worked for them while Saddam was in power. I think I've figured out why so many Iraqis are so negative about the US when interviewed by these reporters. Ditto for the pollsters. Think about the people who were in the best position to take English language classes and serve as interpreters. Baathists. These guys are good.

#5 "Donât these guys wipe with their left hand, or is that an Afghan âtraditionâ?"

It is a muslim thing. And from what I heard, it has do be done in the precise way as prescribed by some hadith.

#7 Ureibi, who understands English better than the other two detainees, said soldiers told him he could go to the place where Saddahm was captured, and get inside the hole as it was filled in.

Well? If we're going to make the story good for the apologists, then lets make it REALLY GOOD

#8 âReportersâ is the enemy. If they have nothing to offer as far as information goes, line them up and shoot them for helping the enemy. Case closed.

#9 Can anyone imagine having every detail of ones life spelled out in a book? This is beyond brainwashing. This is robotization!

" Muslim 97 The Prophet said: "When anyone awakes from sleep, he must clean his nose three times, for the devil spends the night in the interior of his nose."

Also: "When anyone wipes his anus with pebbles he should do this an odd number of times."

Muslim 98 The Prophet said, after some people had hurried in to prayers: "Woe to dry heels because of Hell-fire. Make your ablution thorough."

Muslim 100 The Prophet said: "He who performs ablutions well, his sins come out of his body, even from under his nails."

Muslim 103 The Prophet said: "Five are the acts of Fitra: (male) circumcision, shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, shaving the hair under the armpits and clipping the moustache.

Muslim 104 The Prophet said: "When answering the call of nature neither turn your face or back to Mecca." "After excretion the right hand is not to be used, nor is a bone to be used nor camel dung. "Nor should you hold your penis with your right hand while urinating. Nor should you breathe into the vessel from which you drink."

Muslim 107 The common practice with the Holy Prophet was that he urinated in a sitting position. He then performed ablution and wiped his socks.

Muslim 110 The Prophet said: "When anyone wakes up from sleep, he should wash his hands three times before putting them in the utensil, for he does not know where his hand was during the night."

Muslim 112 The Prophet said: "You should not urinate in stagnant water, then wash in it.

Muslim 116 A'isha said: "I used to scrape the drop of semen off the Prophet's garment and he then went out to prayer in that garment."

Muslim 119 A'isha said: "When any of the Prophet's wives menstruated, the Messenger of Allah (would not have sexual intercourse with them but) would get them to wrap up their lower half and embrace them."

Muslim 124 The Prophet said: "If a woman experiences orgasm in a dream she should take a bath."

#11 Tell me what, exactly, doesnât âhumiliateâ Arabs?

Beheading innocent people?

Blowing up school buses?

Setting injured people on fire, stringing their corpses from a bridge, and dancing around screaming "Allahu Akbar"?

None of those things humiliate them.

#12 IF they actually whacked a couple of ~~news whores~~ reporters around I can understand that. As a matter of fact I wouldn't mind slapping a few around just on GPs. Did the abusee give a name? rank? cell block? I think not!

#13 "When anyone wipes his anus with Pebbles he should do this an odd number of times."

"And don't let Fred catch you."

The common practice with the Holy Prophet was that he urinated in a sitting position. He then performed ablution and wiped his socks.

"Because his aim absolutely sucked."

The Prophet said: "When anyone awakes from sleep, he must clean his nose three times, for the devil spends the night in the interior of his nose."

The Prophet said: "When anyone wakes up from sleep, he should wash his hands three times before putting them in the utensil, for he does not know where his hand was during the night."

Any direction on which is to be done first?

The Prophet said: "You should not urinate in stagnant water, then wash in it.

If you need a prophet of God to tell you this, you deserve what you get.

A'isha said: "I used to scrape the drop of semen off the Prophet's garment and he then went out to prayer in that garment."

Iew. Just. Iew.

The Prophet said: "If a woman experiences orgasm in a dream she should take a bath."

Methinks ol' Mo' was confused about "nocturnal emissions".
