A Comment on Iraq

I normally do not comment on political issues here.

But this paragraph from my newspaper today deserves mention: "Kasim Mehaddi Hilas told investigators that when he first arrived at Abu Ghraib last year, he was forced to strip, put on a hood and wear rose-colored panties with flowers on them. 'Most of the days I was wearing nothing else,' he said in his statement."

What an outrage! Get the guy some better underpants! How about days-of-the-week panties? Thongs? Low-cut bikinis? French cut briefs? Something with little hearts? "I 'heart' the USA," for example.

Seriously. Really. I can't believe that the goons who perpetrated the abuses in the Iraqi prison were so stupid that they videotaped it and photographed it. They should be discharged immediately for complete idiocy and then spend a lot of time in prison or in a school which teaches imbeciles common sense. Then, they should be banned from using cameras, video and print, for life.

And, they should have to wear rose-colored underpants until they die. With flowers. That'll teach them!

i find it interesting that you castigate the men and women for filming it, but not for actually taking part in the atrocities.. sooooo it was ok, just don't get caught?

Well, since this was not a complete discussion about the situation at the Iraqi prison, how do you know what I think about those who committed the abuse? I commented here specifically and selectively about the stupidity of people who film crimes and about the guy complaining about specific rose-colored, flowered panties. If you need a complete analysis of the Iraq situation, you probably need to look elsewhere.
