Torture
speakingcorpse writes:
An important scoop at Billmon's Whiskey Bar, made by one of his readers. Important because the prison torture scandal will soon be buried under a huge pile of glossy media excrement, which will suggest that the whole issue is an aberration, and was taken care of as soon as it was brought to light.
AmCop readers should note and remember the following: an internal army memorandum was written in February, detailing the nature of the alleged crimes, and recommending that one of our heroic democratic mercenaries, who had overseen and instigated the torture, be immediately removed, at the very least, from the democratized Abu Ghraib democracy facility. However, as of a few days ago, this mercenary (who heroically chose to sell his military prowess to the army of democracy) was still at the Abu Ghraib democracy facility, where he was overseeing democratic torture techniques and, in his spare time, hitting golf balls from the roof of the facility and over its walls, into the street of democratic Iraq. So he wasn't disciplined, or even reprimanded, for his work.
Read the whole post at Whiskey Bar, where there will be updates from the recently discovered diary of Joe Ryan, a torturer/democracy facilitator at the Abu Ghraib democracy facility.
