Where was your outrage.....!

Where was you outrage when the burt corpses of americans were hung on a bridge. The publicly video taped execution of the Italian. I can list a hundred examples. You liberals care for only one thing, to undermined the success of the mission in Iraq. Those soldiers were already being prosecuted, but a treacherous traitor who leaked the photos to the media with one accomplishment in mind. To create an outrage of muslims in the middle east, making a difficult situation worse for out troops. This traitor should be shot, because what they did will cost American lives. You liberals are idiots and will be the reason the terrorists are going to put another attack in America prior to the November 2 election, just because they know how liberal will react. Maybe influencing the out come of the election. When we as americans should be united. But to liberals any form of american patriotism is corruptive to your socialist ideals. And anything, and I mean anything, that hurts American success is fair game. I want that traitor that leaked those photos prosecuted!!!!

The outrage was there in all of us, at least I like to think so. These photos are terrible, but like I said earlier, two wrongs don't make a right, and this will help to correct this problem and others like it in within the military. And also, whoever published these photos first was well within his rights. It's sad but true. I've got friends overseas now, and I will be in Iraq come September, serving my country, and fighting for these "traitors" to utilize these freedoms that we are enduring. I feel as strongly as you do, except for the prosecution part. If we take away their freedoms, we're taking away our own.

As I had said these soldiers were already being prosecuted. These prisoners still hold information valuable to our troops on the ground and this traitor leaked information from a secret file. Marked secret. That to me is a traitor.

Who is this traitor you keep refering to, is it the media, or is it the PFC who told his commander about the wrong doings happening. And whats in this secret file? The pictures?

But in addition this free press isn't really free. There is a liberal slant to it. They only post images that helps their agenda. And any thing that stirs up American emotion towards patriotism they will not show. What ever happened to the videos of the Twin Towers falling? They simply do not want to Americans to remember that day. So they do not show it. And recently, did you see the burt corps of Americans on CNN. NO. So our media isn't free press. It is controlled by the left. And if it doesn't fit their agenda it doesn't air. So that is your "free press"?

The congressman or congressman cronies. These photos came from someone there from a file marked secret. The PFC that told his commander did the right thing. And that is what every body fails to take noticed these soldiers were already being prosecuted. Their prosecution was started in January. This is old news and there was no coverup. There were press releases stating that the investigation was in place. That is where these photos came form the investigation of our military not the press. And when you go to Iraq my prays are with you.

Ok, sorry, I follow you now. Yes, that guy would definetly be the traitor. I agree with you. I wasn't following you for a second there. Yea, that guy or whoever is definetly trying to undermine our progress over seas and is also trying to spark some more terror. I agree with you on that. And also, thanks for keeping me in your prayers, pray for everyone else overseas, too!

I think your sweeping generalization of "you liberals" is another example of intelligence giving way to defensiveness.
"You liberals" like Donald Rumsfeld and President Bush have expressed anger at the fact that this torture occured. As the president said, "This isn't American." This isn't how we do things - we're a compassionate nation. I don't think that Rumsfeld should resign, but the people who are responsible for this must be punished. Even if you aren't against the torture of Iraqis, you must admit this is a bad precedent to set.
"Liberal idiots" (like Bush) who are angered by this situation in fact have America's best interests in mind. Maybe you should grow up and acknowledge that liberals and conservatives both want what's best for America, each in their own way.

Besides being flat-out wrong that the media has a liberal slant, you brought up a rediculous example that proves you wrong.
If CNN had aired images of burnt American corpses, do you really think that would make Americans feel better about the war in Iraq? Maybe I'm crazy, but I think most Americans would feel a certain antipathy toward such an image. SHOWING the images would have served a liberal political agenda.

Wow you are mixed up big time. You are angry about the pictures of abuse being released and someone should be prosecuted? And you blame it on Liberals? Believe me there are people who are not liberals are glad the truth has been released. You could probably justify everything the NAZI's did too if you'd been German. Please pray to God about this if you are a believer in Christ.

For every action there is a reaction. America's black and white policy doesn't help the situation and Americas sheer ingorance and inability to understand other cultures and peoples problems creates a back lash. What happens today is a result of the American goverments greed and lack of understanding.
Terrorism isn't okay for anyone to commit even if it's America's State sponsored terrorism and that is exactly what Iraq is. The good ol' might makes right theory. If you make it impossible for people to make change peacfully they will make it themselvs violently.

Jeez, bite a bullet there, Rambo! I'm no bleeding heart liberal, and I was in the Regular Army (which means I volunteered, was not drafted) back in the 1960s. And one of the many things I learned in 8 weeks of basic training is that you don't submit captives to danger, much less torture. I'm not wasting any tears on NCOs who should have known better actually posing for pictures while mistreating prisoners. Anyone that dumb deserves what he/she gets. As for prosecuting whoever "leaked" those pictures, you show me the law that he/she broke and I'll support your proposal. Last I looked, there's no law against taking and distributing photos of foolish people.

I was outraged by all those images, but it does not excuse the shame Bush has brought on all true Americans . . . and he needs to be brought to justice for violating the U.S. War Crimes Act.
When's the execution?
