That was a terrible mistake. We didn't have enough boots on the ground. Books have been written about all the mistakes that have been made. The second thing he said was, 'Abu Ghraib.'

Water-boarding is torture. It is prohibited by international agreement. It is torture by any criteria you want. Now, I believe that the CIA could probably use some additional techniques than those that are in the Army Field Manual. But those cannot be in violation of the Geneva Conventions, the bill that they call the McCain Amendment, that prohibits cruel, inhumane treatment or degrading treatment. I believe under President Reagan we passed anti-torture convention. There's the Detainee Treatment Act, there's all kinds of laws that prohibit torture. Water-boarding is torture and I don't think there's any doubt about that. And I know there's some people that say well, you'd have to use it under certain circumstances. Well, I just don't accept that ... I noticed that the Israelis don't use torture ... If we use torture on people, I don't think that it helps us differentiate between ourselves and the people we're tryin' to defeat.

Meanwhile, Retired Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general who first investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib, has accused the Bush administration of committing war crimes. "The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture," Taguba said.

Now there is a rising media and Beltway fascination with a new Dr. Strangelove, whose passion is imposing a mad science of counterinsurgency on Iraq.<br /> <br /> His name is David Kilcullen, an Australian academic and military veteran whom the <em>Washington Post</em>&#39;s Thomas Ricks once described as Gen. David Petraeus&#39; &quot;chief adviser&quot; on the counterinsurgency doctrine underlying the surge in Iraq.<br /> <br /> Kilcullen advocated a &quot;global Phoenix program&quot; in an obscure military journal, <em>Small Wars</em>, in 2004. For the ahistorical or uninitiated, Phoenix was a largely off-the-books detention, torture and assassination program aimed at tens of thousands of South Vietnamese who were identified by informants as the Vietcong&#39;s &quot;civilian infrastructure.&quot; The venture was so discredited that the US Congress denounced and disbanded it after hearings in the 1970s.<br /> <br /> But Kilcullen says the Phoenix program was &quot;unfairly maligned&quot; and was actually a success. So inflammatory was his advocacy in some circles that he revised his 2004 paper to rename the Phoenix program one of &quot;revolutionary development.&quot;</p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/42788-meet-the-new-dr-strangelove">Continue reading</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/42191-bush-blames-torture-policy-on-u-s-troops 2008-07-25T18:43:37Z Michael Moore <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zcbEuHGsQI4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zcbEuHGsQI4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/42191-bush-blames-torture-policy-on-u-s-troops"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47608" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>REPORTER: I mean, you&#39;ve talked a lot about freedom.

How can we express what so many of us are thinking&mdash;that it is absolutely appalling to know that our representatives are implementing barbaric instruments of torture as policy? How do we express our moral outrage? <br /><br />Perhaps more importantly, how do we begin to take steps towards ending this heinous crime?&nbsp; <a href="http://condimustgo.com/">Sign the petition</a> and demand Secretary of State Rice to resign.<br /> <p>Our allies at True Majority, USAction, and Democracy for America have launched a campaign to start calling out our leaders by focusing on Condoleezza Rice. No, she is not the President.&nbsp; But we want to call attention to the fact that the Secretary of State called for torture when she was National Security Adviser.&nbsp; <br /> </p> <p>This is our campaign to get all three Presidential nominees to call for Rice&#39;s resignation.&nbsp; Accountability must start with her, especially now that she&#39;s being mentioned as a potential Vice Presidential candidate.&nbsp; We want to push all the Presidential candidates on this issue.&nbsp; They need to make a public stance: <a href="http://condimustgo.com/">Condi Must Go!</a><br /> </p> Join us in taking action. Join us in creating a firestorm while the traditional media is missing in action. Join us in spreading the word to mobilize our country.&nbsp; We cannot tolerate officials with a blatant disregard for human rights!</p> </div> <a href="/blog/35714-condi-must-go">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/34840-torture 2008-07-25T18:41:38Z CTC411.com <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H2hsoadR9q0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H2hsoadR9q0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/34840-torture"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/38280" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>When "enhanced interrogation techniques" get a little too "enhanced," they can always be outsourced to private contractors like CACI... for the right price.</p> <p>This is a clip from Robert Greenwald's "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers" - <br />http://www.iraqforsale.org</p> </div> <a href="/blog/34840-torture">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/29929-rape-without-penetration-abu-ghraib-of-police-brutality 2008-07-25T18:26:17Z Hsaive <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/arYFbWJuSxg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/arYFbWJuSxg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/29929-rape-without-penetration-abu-ghraib-of-police-brutality"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/32217" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>WKYC VIDEO LINK: Part 1 <br />http://www.wkyc.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=82447&provider=top</p> <p>WKYC VIDEO LINK: Part 2 <br />http://www.wkyc.com/video/player.aspx?sid=82866&aid=54225</p> <p>Originally Added: February 06, 2008 <br />The "New World Order" promises More of these incidents:</p> <p>Stark County, OH: Oct 21, 2006:</p> <p>The VICTIM in a 911 call to Stark County, OH Sherrif's office turns into an Abu Ghraib incident where enforcement by humiliation has become common practice against women taken into custody by corrupted enforcement agencies. </p> <p>Unbelivably, the Sheriff defends the officers as doing eveything "by the book." </p> <p>Militarization of America's police is vital to the New World Order and Globalization of poverty.
