Chicago's Abu Ghraib

Wow, bad things happen in prison.....who knew?


Don't do the crime if you don't wanna do the time.

 

who needs ethics and decency in a civilized country.

 

so i guess democracy isnt much different for arabs in iraq and blacks in the us

i'm sure the usual apologists are gonna come out and say that these are 'isolated incidents'

 

So you approve of torture?

This goes beyond doing the time. This is directly agaisnt the laws of the United States. It is against the constitution of the United States, it is against any moral or eithical standard that I know of.

 

If you're forced into a confession by torture, is that still a bed you made?

After a conviction, the burden of proof falls upon the defense's shoulders.

This is disturbing news coming from a state that has been through a death penalty scandal (with similar allegations) a few years ago.

 

"And they (60+ cases of torture) were all coming out of the same station, and they were all headed up by this man, Jon Burge, who came out of Vietnam, started out as a detective and quickly rose in the ranks through sergeant, lieutenant and commander."

Seeing what the war had done to this man, who became the torture master in Chicago, I say some people are probably better served that they don't fight in wars. Just imagine what a ruthless, cold-blooded, and violent maniac hayes may turn into if he's drafted.

 

very disturbing.

 

So, who's going to tell Dick Durbin about the Nazis and Pol Potists in his backyard?

 

Do we have a source that isn't Democracy Now?

 

Hmm, I hope the Chicago Sun-Times and the ABC-affiliated TV station are not among the sources whose credibilities you would have problem with.
