A US soldier describes, in great detail, his experiences in Abu Garib prison. He admits to the repeated rape of a 15-year old girl who later hanged herself. To him, it’s just not that big of a deal.

We all know this war and occupation is unConstitutional and illegal. We all know it’s gone on far too long. But, it’s time we started having an honest public dialogue about what war does to human beings.

This young man probably had a chance to be a relatively normal person before his experiences in Iraq. Now, he’s nothing more than an animal — completely lacking in human compassion, dignity or decency.

But, that’s what happens.

So, what’s the time frame, kids? 16 months? 24 months? 10 years? Not good enough. This truly needs to end immediately. The shame of it is growing too big to bear.

I’m going to do something I never do on this blog. Open comments. I want you to do your best to justify this mess to me. Explain to me why we need to stay in Iraq. Explain to me how this kind of brutal and criminal behavior could ever be tolerated by a Constitutional Republic or a polite society.

What you’re about to see is rather depressing and the language is not safe for work.

This kind of talk is quite frightening. Never mind that she refuses to give a straight answer (apparently, the Straight Talk Express never made it up to Alaska), but note the language that she uses.

Terrorists, Islamic Extremists, destroy America, Terrorists, Terrorists.

This is the language of fear and it’s designed to hoodwink the listener — something the Bush administration has been doing for seven years.

Not once (in the segment) does she mention the Constitutionality of the Bush Doctrine, international law or what’s even proper and lawful.

It’s the kind of mentality that the rest of the world sees and shakes their collective head at.

Those who hyped and screamed that a McCain presidency would be just another four years of Bush’s presidency… you may step forward and collect your cookie now. You were right.

Here, he espouses humble foreign policy, avoiding playing ‘World Police’ and staying out of the business of nation building.

What the hell happened?

He was the Deputy Prosecutor during the trials of the Manson Family in California. He’s also the author of The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.

He’s no slouch.

Here, now is Bugliosi’s testimoney to a House Judiciary Committee on the matter. Watch and decide.
