Not in My Name.???

From The Guardian April 15th 06

Donald Rumsfeld was directly linked to prisoner abuse for the first time yesterday, when it emerged he had been "personally involved" in a Guantánamo Bay interrogation found by military investigators to have been "degrading and abusive".

Human Rights Watch last night called for a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate whether the defence secretary could be criminally liable for the treatment of Mohamed al-Qahtani, a Saudi al-Qaida suspect forced to wear women's underwear, stand naked in front of a woman interrogator, and to perform "dog tricks" on a leash, in late 2002 and early 2003. The US rights group said it had obtained a copy of the interrogation log, which showed he was also subjected to sleep deprivation and forced to maintain "stress" positions; it concluded that the treatment "amounted to torture".

Richard --what can we do to stop these arseholes invading our blogs and leaving their crap on it ? This week Australia suffered its first loss in Iraq--a young soldier died at what seems to be his own hands "while cleaning his gun" all sounds dodgy to me---but to make things worse not only did he die,the stupid sods over there shipped THE WRONG BODY back to his family in Melbourne---I'm sick of hearing about the place,the death and the madness--I'm all for getting out now and leaving it to them--and sadly probably in more of a mess than it was before we started
