(Update: A reader brought to our attention that the rape of boys at Abu Ghraib has been mentioned in some news accounts of the prisoner abuse evidence. The Telegraph and other news organizations described "a videotape, apparently made by US personnel, is said to show Iraqi guards raping young boys." The Guardian reported "formal statements by inmates published yesterday describe horrific treatment at the hands of guards, including the rape of a teenage Iraqi boy by an army translator."

Salon com Article, Hersh: children sodomized at Ab Ghraib ON TAPE.

Some senators may have seen the tapes, not the first time this story has come up.

"Hersh said that after he broke Abu Ghraib people are coming out of the woodwork to tell him this stuff. He said he had seen all the Abu Ghraib pictures. He said, 'You haven't begun to see evil...' then trailed off. He said, 'horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.' He looked frightened."

I think people like this guy misunderstand torture.

The type of torture we conduct is not for information but more to force confessions. It is a failure and disgrace.

Excellent Commentary! I agree on the lot of it.

Regarding rights of gay marriages. Logically, gays are citizens and should be equal to the task of any priviliedges anyone else has just like blacks, chinese, native Americans. Who denies this? Marriage does not come from god..it's about a piece of legal paper.

Also, proof that it's not a choice to be gay-

QUESTION to Heteros - Did you wake up one day at 15 or 16 years old and think "hmmmm today I'm going to be straight!"

no worries

I've read a few of your comments here and there and I am quite certain that you know more than I do on this subject given your background but I am surprised that you elaborated in this direction. What about privacy?

What you've described is one little aspect of passive intelligence gathering - well you could be either referring to that or commercial espionage. *shrugs* Anyways, this has next to nothing to do with your vid, sorry. I think I'm splitting hairs.

Yes.Perhaps.I thought I knew my mother. When she died I went through a period of mourning when I thought of her differently that when she was alive. In dreams she was more real to me than when she was alive. More direct,straightforward. It seems that my perception of her when she was alive was more illusory than the dream experience that is more real to me. Alot of stuff cut away and a direct essence remaining. I don't know. It's confusing. But I have my preference and experience to hold on to.
