I had some
things to say on my blog about about the recently court-ordered
upcoming release of the rest of the Abu Ghraib photos -- the ones our glorious leaders decided were to controversial for the public to see.
Listen up, freedom activists. We know this is coming. We need to get ready to leverage this politically as much as possible, because trends never stand still. This is our own potential future that will be seen documented in the photos from this 21st century Gulag -- unless we can slow it, stop it and turn it around. This may be one of our last chances.
Remember, the biggest "reform" that we have so far seen after the original breaking of the Abu Ghraib story was this -- the military banned cameras there. Think about it.
You will hear cover stories about how the soldiers who carried this out are being "punished". The policy makers who created this horror have been rewarded, though. Unless they are made to pay a price through the judicial system, you will see more of this. You will, ultimately, experience this and worse -- because they can.
Don't meekly call for "investigations" and "reform".
Demand that high-ranking, roughly Cabinet level and above, heads roll.
Demand the impeachment of the President and Vice-President.
Write letters to the leadership of other countries asking them to indict these monsters.
Get ready to start confronting the masses they hide behind.
Get ready to show them these photos and say "Take a look in the mirror, mother-fucker! This is YOU! You did this by putting these bastards in power! You're not Americans. You're `Good Germans' that Der Fuehrer would have been proud of!"
No sooner was it posted, though, than it was linked to in an update to a post by one of the fascist zombies out there who seeem to think that Nick Berg's death excuses Abu Ghraib.
At what point will these people decide that cutting off someone's head for being an American deserves more attention than TERRORISTS being stacked in a naked pyramid??
When will the ACLU start protecting Americans and stop protecting terrorists?
Let's leave aside (for the moment) this person having apparently put themself in some sort of cocoon that has prevented them from learning that full-on rape and murder occurred at Abu Ghraib.
It's interesting to watch them chant the "you're anti-American" mantra, despite all evidence to the contrary -- like a religious ritual. They say the "magic words" to ward off uncomfortable thoughts.
Whatever shall we do? These people are SICK!
