Abuse of Iraqi prisoners provokes anti-gay hate among Arabs and Muslims

Torture, America's New World Order

25-05-2004 05:10 | Analysis | Repression | London | World

The pictures of tortures that hit the news, as bad as they are, do not reflect the depth and extent of the crimes perpetrated against the Iraqi prisoners. Rumsfeld himself admitted that. Torture against Iraqi detainees should simply be viewed as a continuation of the destruction of Iraqi society, murders, and crimes against Iraqi people. These pictures are not any worse than the pictures that show children’s body parts blown apart. What sets these pictures apart from other scenes of brutality is that they reveal to us a purposeful brutality being perpetrated by US functionaries. If murder of innocent civilians during the war and military confrontations can be portrayed as an accident, the torture of prisoners cannot.

We are the People: Underage and Longing for Leaders

19-05-2004 17:39 | Analysis | World

"Now and then persons at the top of our political pyramids have a screw loose somewhere. George Hitler alias Adolf Bush appealing to God is the best example.. Can this continue for ever? Will idiots in power breed idiots who defend their idiotologies? I don't believe so. Rather new concepts will arise in the future.. Perhaps new ideas and new systematics will set programs instead of persons in the foreground.."
