[...] “Rape is simply sex” is Eriksen’s view. How similar this British nazi sounds to ultra Rightists in the USA, who defended the torture and rape in Abu Ghraib jail by saying it was just a “sex ring”. Though the [...]

To Mr. Shays:
A “Sex Ring?” Are you insane????? Have you seen the photos? The Blood, humiliation, pain, intimidation and threats?

All of this in UNAMERICAN. In war you destroy the enemy or imprison him. But once imprisoned, you show him that you are better than he is…in all respects.

Goodbye Chris Shays. Your desparate comment just cost you the election. Hopefully, you will not be the only R to lose your seat.

And Chris Shays is a moderate Republican? Sounds more like Rush Limbaugh to me.

Shays is one of the deeply closeted GOP Representatives in DC > he must be exposed and outed to get him removed from the Congress!

Shays has crossed over into bizarroland.
Funny how desperation affects different people in different ways.
I think he sees the tidal wave coming.

I think it’s worth pointing out that the soldiers who were accused of misdeeds at Abu Ghraib are not members of the National Guard as Shays said. They were in fact members of the US Army Reserve’s 372nd Military Police Company, based in Maryland.

For those who may not know, the National Guard is made up of Army and Air Force units containing part time soldiers with a small staff of full timers who manage day to day operations when units are not deployed. National Guard soldiers are subject to carry out the same missions and deployments as the active duty military and follow the same rules, regulations and standards as active duty soldiers and reservists. Additionally, National Guard units have the mission of answering the call of the Governors of their states in repsonse to natural disasters or civil unrest.

Reserve units in all military services — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard — are also units composed of mostly part time soldiers with a small full time staff. Reservists also accomplish the same missions as the active duty military and follow the same rules, regulations and standards.

The difference is that Reservists do not have a secondary state mission and are not subject to the call of their Governors.

I smell another scandal here. Sex ring? He saw it? What, in person or in pictures? I was not aware of this one. Can we have the photos please? Or at least a first person account of the sex ring? Hmmm?

A blatant attempt to distract people from the torture at Abu Ghraib by spinning it into a sex ring and trying to find a “gay cabal” to blame.

Wow… I’ve always assumed that most of the GOP is bat-shit-crazy, but lately, the pressure seems to be driving them over the edge and out of the asylum in droves. Watching is fun and frightening at the same time.

I’ll try this again:

The “it’s just sex” excuse doesn’t fly.
Rape….is not just sex
Child molestation is not ………just sex
pornography is not……….just sex
Gitmo is not about……….just sex

All of the above have power dynamics that are in play that are pernicious and destructive…….victim and vimtimizer.

The “just blowing off steam” mentality of Dominican Republic hopping, under age whore afficiando, Rush Limbaugh won’t cut it this time. I think people may just be recovering some sanity
