Let's Gather the Reasons
The sample of despicable pictures taken in the infamous Abu Gareeb prison clearly showed that the Iraqi prisoners were tortured, humiliated and subjected to the types of sexual perversions that are widespread within the American society. This has clearly angered the Islamic world, but it has surprised no one! Amnesty International and other Human rights groups also voiced this opinion and they have received many similar complaints in the past.
The British cousins have also been engaging in such practices, which is expected as they both share the same heritage and values.
President George Bush responded by stating that:"Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people." Let's see now, America is the highest producer and consumer of Porn. The gamut of sexual perversion including the sexual practice of bondage is widespread and licensed under the notion of 'freedom'. Bondage involves torture, humiliation and other sorts of bizarre perversion. Homosexuality has become a norm.
An average American soldier is usually raised in such an environment, subjected to a range of Porn, early sexual abuse and gratuitous violence. Their own statistics reveal that 33% are born out of wedlock and many of them do not know the identity of their father, hence often subjected to sexual abuse and neglect. This is why one individual pointed out to an American when he called Usamah Bin Laden a 'bas****', that Usamah and every Al-Qaeeda member clearly knows the identity of their father, hence the title is more suitable for those Americans citizens! Those pictures along with the numerous independent reports only confirm the American identity of their soldiers. Add this to their racist outlook towards non-Europeans and Muslims/Arabs in particular, demonised by the powerful mass media (that dwarfs the lone channel of Al-Jazeerah) that constantly promotes a culture of hate and intolerance.
Mr. George Bush went on to state that: "That's not the way we do tthings in America." Yes, most will agree, in America such practices are usually kept hidden, especially for those in influential positions like the government. This is why the likes of Bill Clinton was engaging in his seedy activities with his secretary Monika Lewinsky in private, another liberated and a free woman. So the shame is not in committing the actual action but being exposed to the public. This is simply because the USA leadership has to pretend to be a leading moral 'Christian' nation, even though it's masses do not observe the same moral code. Like the way they scorn Islamic polygamy but it would be difficult to find honest monogamous individuals in a sea of sexual perversion.
Therefore, George Bush is embarrassed as his 'Christian' soldiers (Let's hope General William Boykin is taking note) has been caught and exposed by the mass media. Had this been originally broadcast by Al-Jazeerah, it would have been charged with incitement to sexual perversion! If President Bush was informed of this matter quietly rather than through the media, it might have caused some level of discomfort (or comfort) but most certainly he would not have been embarrassed. As such activities are very common within USA society and much worse things are occurring daily. Jerry Springer can confirm this as he displays these moronic, perverted and degenerated USA citizens on his TV shows daily.
These are acts of perverted soldiers; hence it is highly unlikely that such incidences are exceptions rather than the norm. So, just think what has not been reported and how long have these activities have been taking place! The pictures caught, only reveal the tip of the iceberg. The various reports indicate this has been occurring since the fall of Baghdad, under operation Iraqi 'freedom', but freedom for whom?
Apart from sexual perversion, the pictures also reveal torture of prisoners. The gratuitous violence is also widespread within the USA and rooted in it's history, the nation was born in the blood of the millions of Native Americans. Likewise it's British cousins did the same to the Irish and the Australians did to its Aboriginal population. This same instinctive violence of the Wild West was displayed in Fallujah, where the USA army massacred hundreds.
Only recently, the CNN TV showed a clip of a USA marine killing a wounded Iraqi, who later gave an interview and spoke proudly of his 'achievement'. It seems, that no accountability, no war crimes, no Geneva conventions and no UN resolutions are applicable to the Americans! Who can forget when Donald Rumsfeld was referring to the Geneva convention at the beginning of the conflict when some USA POWs were shown on TV whilst they were breaking every rule in Guantanamo Bay, even that was mild compared to what CBS broadcasted recently. The USA administration has simply become immune to the notion of hypocrisy.
In defence the offending soldiers are claiming ignorance of Geneva Convention and lack of training. That only proves the above points, that by their very nature these people are thugs, criminals and perverted. Common sense dictates that maltreating prisoners is wrong, and is understood by all societies and civilisations, except 'civilised' America. Then the USA has the gall of wrapping its conduct with their usual ranting about democracy, freedom and human rights.
