Weren't you just falling over yourself to demand that something be done about it? Oh wait. You weren't, you hypocrite. But never mind. The Great Satan Uncle Sam is taking descisive disciplinary action in both cases. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEAL WITH IT. Americans: a pack, not a herd.

Post #153,316 by rcareaga 5/1/04 12:15:53 PM Reply	Ouch! Shucks. The set-up possibility had occurred to me (except I thought that a spoof would have yielded to the temptation of doing it with slightly higher technical quality, forgetting the insatiable lust the lower orders have for steep levels of JPEG compression)—but the desert vs. jungle camo issue did not even register. An interesting lesson in the tendency to see what we expect to see: the sequence now appears staged, as it did not on first look. Ah, well, to brandish a point is to risk, as here, falling upon it. cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

Post #153,338 by boxley 5/1/04 7:39:16 PM Reply	the rape scenes are suspect but the rest should have those smiling assholes breaking rocks in levenworth. You dont need shit like that to break people, anyone who has visited the glasshouse could tell you that. This was good old boy fun and a good old boy jail sentence should be handed out right up to that General in charge, thanx, bill attempting to explain profiling doesn't require one to take a position for or against it any more than attempting to explain gravity requires one to be for or against gravity.

Post #153,441 by deSitter 5/2/04 9:36:14 PM Reply	Sure they do They're NG MPs. I doubt they wear desert combat clothes in their daily activities. Even the regular Marines in the field wear green camouflaged flak jackets. Are you saying these photos are not real? -drl
Post #153,444 by admin 5/2/04 9:50:59 PM Reply	That's what I'm saying. The prison photos look authentic. The porn photos do not. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #153,348 by dmarker 5/1/04 8:59:46 PM Reply	I have a problem with this lot of photos The rape scenes whilst very disturbing, give the appearance of staged photos and are not mentioned anywhere in the text. This at first glance looks like a classic guilt by association (of all the photos) - there is no comentary or provinence for the added in photos (rape scenes). They may be genuine but in this context they lack any credibility. They do look like a blatant attempt to piggy-back extra horror on the existing offensive photos. Doug Marker

Tomorrow someone will concoct a pictures of US soldiers pissing on the floor of Imam Ali mosque in Najaf, and that will work too. That smiling bitch in Baghdad just cost us the moral high ground for the next few generations. It's too bad we cannot really become like that. -- Buy high, sell sober.
