		<description>This is nothing.

Noone here mentions that they do EVERY SINGLE DAY to tens of thousands of helpless mentally ill boys, whose only crime is being ill, and whose brains are not allowed to heal. Female &quot;doctors&quot;, actualluy sick slime,  peer through tiny 3 inch tall slats into dungeon 4 x 6cells so small and closed in with NO windows and only a tall steel door with a tiny closed slat, that the ill go psychotic, as any human would in there.

And the doctors participate in that filth and torture. The Jewish and Christian people have allowed it for decades and are far worse than anything George Bush does, and Democrats do it as much.

Noone does anything about it and it happens in almost every major county in this country.  They torture them in Supermax like cells and solitary confinement cells (torture chambers) that could only be designed by the sickest Christian minds who have ever lived.

This article is nothing compared to what they do to those boys and how they brain damage them. And nobody calls anyone to stop it. We tried and all the publishers, broadcast people, legislators, Congress, Rabbis, and Pastors laughed at us. Its gone on for decades and it never stops. THAT is torture. At least this guy had his stop. These guys screams go unheard.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;The Concept that the USA etc takes people who resist their invasion prisoner &amp; detaines them as either Unlawfull Combatants / POW has the Requirement that the IRAQ Resisters of Invasion Take Prisoner USA etc forces when they are captured , and not killing them!

The USA etc also would like them to not Torture them!

Fair is Fair : If the USA would Undertake that the UN administer Prisoners taken by USA / UK , Coalition of the Willing forces, of those Iraq captured &amp; UN Guard &amp; Feed etc them , &amp; not Allow USA etc to Torture Them THen...

IRAQ Would be Expected to treat POW held by them with Dignity...

But as Iraq Has had USA etc forces Blow Up their Mosques Suni/ Shia etc that had been used to hold possibly their POW or AWOL forces seeking refuge from this murderous war ...

What Can IRAQ DO -

They Could Have the UN RUN POW PRISONS FOR PEOPLE HELD BY IRAQ RESISTANCE BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THERE BE A DEVELOPMENT OF RULES OF WAR TO TAKE IN THE TYPE OF FIGHTING IN IRAQ, MEANING WHEN IRAQ HAS OVERRUN USA FORCES THEY REQUIRE USA FORCES TO RAISE WHITE FLAG &amp; BE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY IRAQ RESISTANCE FORCES WHO THEN RAISE A RED FLAG (EG) 

&amp; THEN SUMMON UN FORCES TO THE SCENE TO TAKE CUSTODY OF THEM.

THIS WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT WEAPONS THEY WERE EQUIPED WITH BE SURRENDERED TO IRAQ RESISTANCE FORCES &amp; NOT BE KEPT BY UN.

DURING THIS PERIOD OF SUBMISSION THERE MUST BE NO ATTEMPT BY USA COALITION FORCES OR PUPPET IRAQ GOVERNMENT / CONTRACT FORCES TO RELEASE THEM BY FORCE, AFTER THEY HAVE SUBMITTED!

TO ENCOURAGE COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABOVE THE UN WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE VERY LITTLE TRUST BETWEEN THE IRAQ RESISTANCE &amp; THEIR FOE THAT RULES OF WAR WOULD HAVE TO DEVELOP TO FIT THIS WAR THAT IT WAS OKAY FOR IRAQ RESISTANCE FORCES TO PLACE BOMBS ON THE PERSON OF THE PRISONER, UNTILL UN GUARDS TAKE CUSTODY ,TO ENSURE USA FORCES WOULD NOT SEEK TO REGAIN THEIR MEN ,&amp;/ OR MAKE AN INDELABLE MARK ON THE PRISONER THAT REQUIRED THEIR DETENTION BY UN PRISON.

THIS WOULD ALSO REQUIRE UN TO STATE THEY WOULD BE DETAINED TILL THE WAR WAS OVER WHEN ALL POW WOULD BE RELEASED POST HASTE WITHOUT HINDERANCE, AFTER AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED TO ACCOUNT FOR PRISONER MALTREATMENT WITH A JOINT COURT TO TRY THEM IN IRAQ.

THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR HUMANE TREATMENT OF USA POW &amp; OF IRAQ POW- A VAST IMPROVEMENT.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>So they torture this mentally ill guy, and every time he makes up some story about a terror plot, they send SWAT teams running to the location?

That would make a GREAT episode of 24!</description>

#17&lt;blockquote&gt;Somebody needed to have said: â€œMr. President, we have tortured a mentally-ill man at your command and it has produced absolutely nothing.â€ &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Comment by DrSinker&lt;/em&gt;

Wow, guys. I cant believe this from TP bloggers. Why are we discussing here: the inefficiency of torture or that it is the lowest, most nefarious thing done to any being? 
If torture give results, then it would be OK?</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t vote for George Bush.  I didn&#039;t vote for George Bush.   He killed a record number of Americans as governor of Texas; some mentally ill, some whose trials had such gaping holes that an oil truck could go through easily.  Yes, I know a Texas Governor has very little real power, but he didn&#039;t even try to see justice done.

  Why should that ( series of expletives withheld ) Bush even care about losing face? The whole world knew him as a spineless brainless puppet!!

  I am appalled that he even calls himself a Christian,  I don&#039;t call him a Christian, normally I call him &quot;that whited sepulchre&quot; or worse.</description>

Yes, I know a Texas Governor has very little real power, but he didn&#8217;t even try to see justice done.</p>
<p>  Why should that ( series of expletives withheld ) Bush even care about losing face? The whole world knew him as a spineless brainless puppet!!</p>
<p>  I am appalled that he even calls himself a Christian,  I don&#8217;t call him a Christian, normally I call him &#8220;that whited sepulchre&#8221; or worse.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=631279', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There is something incrediblely horrible about being part of a country that will torture a mentally ill man.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hey &quot;Skeptic&quot; - Bush had no problem executing the mentally ill. Why would he have a problem torturing them? Especially if he is getting completely invalid information from the tortured schizophrenic, which can be used as fuel to aid the &quot;fight AlQaeda&quot; fire. 

What the hell is happening in our country?

BTW, I found a quote from this book review very disturbing.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I said he (Zubaydah) was important,&quot; Bush reportedly told Tenet at one of their daily meetings. &quot;You&#039;re not going to let me lose face on this, are you?&quot; &quot;No sir, Mr. President,&quot; Tenet replied. Bush &quot;was fixated on how to get Zubaydah to tell us the truth,&quot; Suskind writes, and he asked one briefer, &quot;Do some of these harsh methods really work?&quot; Interrogators did their best to find out, Suskind reports. They strapped Abu Zubaydah to a water-board, which reproduces the agony of drowning. They threatened him with certain death. They withheld medication. They bombarded him with deafening noise and harsh lights, depriving him of sleep. Under that duress, he began to speak of plots of every variety -- against shopping malls, banks, supermarkets, water systems, nuclear plants, apartment buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty. With each new tale, &quot;thousands of uniformed men and women raced in a panic to each . . . target.&quot; And so, Suskind writes, &quot;the United States would torture a mentally disturbed man and then leap, screaming, at every word he uttered.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Bush is more concerned about &quot;losing face&quot; than following the laws or doing what is morally correct. Oh, and let&#039;s not forget that Zubaydah &quot;disappeared&quot; from CiA custody after being tortured in this secret prison (according to Human Rights Watch). Disgusting.

I am so saddened and disgusted by what our government is doing.</description>

		<description>In one briefing Bush asked his advisor, &quot;What about the time Jack Bauer shot that guy in the knee, and he told us where the bomb was hidden? Could we prevent a terrorist attack that way?&quot;

Later Cheney said, &quot;It&#039;s no accident we haven&#039;t been hit again,&quot; and grinned his sly crooked grin.</description>

		<description>There is something incrediblely horrible about being part of a country that will torture a mentally ill man.  Can we start kicking dogs and setting cats on fire next?  This is vicious senseless cruelty on a helpless person without any mental defenses.  This is on a moral level with beating small children.
  If this government sinks any lower they will have to start digging in the sewers.</description>
