    I never thought I would find out our government tortures people. We had so many soldiers die in WWII to stop this sort of thing. We agreed to the Geneva Conventions. They distorted the meaning and violated them. The truth is we torture people in the gulags we have in this country. They are put in dangerous conditions, denied health care, treated cruelly by corrections officers, denied civil rights(such as the 8th amendment) and many are innocent or should have never gone to prison in the first place.

    Citizens of the world unite! You have only your own corrupt government (police) to lose!

    Suppose there was threats of rape in Abu Gharaib. Do you know how many threats of rapes are practiced in the prisons of State you live in? Do you know how many prisonor mistreatments are conducted by the prison guards in the united states? So what do you suggest? Dismantle all the prisons in the united states? or prosecute many prison wardens and prison guards? Did you ever follow the news that all gurds that were some how involved in misbeaviour in Iraq were actually prosecuted and some who were found guilty actually punished?
