Iraqi cameraman recounts ordeal in US detention
The US interrogater yanked the 24-year-old Iraqi male’s hair and peeled back his eyelids...
Even with the other problems with prisoners in Iraq, being that this guy is an Al-Jazeera employee, one has to take anything he says with a grain of salt. He seems as though he’s taking notes from the pictures released of the soldiers apparently abusing prisoners.
"Before the war, I had a bright idea about the Americans. I thought they were people who believe deeply in democracy and respect freedom," he said. "Now I believe that the Americans are far removed from anything related to democracy and freedom."
This remark, at the end of the article reminds one of a Kerry supporter calling up a talk radio show, and saying they JUST MADE UP THEIR MIND, but by the way they present themselves, like reading talking points, everyone knows they are lifelong commited Democrats who have never voted for a Republican.

Now, after careful consideration, he sides with the chaps talk their friends into blowing themselves up to kill innocents, who strap bombs to their children and send them out to blow up cafes or busses, who use women and children for shields when they fight, and who . . .

#6  IMO, the history of past posting shows that Man Bites Dog is a fake -- he pretends to be a gung ho, pro-military, “knock down the bad guys” kind of guy -- and then (usually) proceeds to dump all over the Bush administration, essentially calling them all criminals without any proof to back up the slander. Man Bites Dog, just because you sound pro-military doesn’t mean you’re not just a DU operative (or equivalent) out to slam Bush. It’s not like you ever offer alternative, realistic solutions, do you?

#3  Gents - Take a look at my comment on "Iraqi Torture devised by CIA" #5. I think it kind of fits in with your statements, Sarge/Bill

#1  I personally don't care if they like us or not. As long as they fear us is the important thing.
