Can we cut the torture crap?
For fucking crying out loud! Can we please knock all this sensationalist bullshit about the torture and horror going on inside Abu Buttfuck prison off?
What were my first thoughts about the photos?
"Naked guy on dog leash. Naked guy with panties covering face. Woman photographed with naked men...HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Someone has leaked photos of my Year 12 High School Retreat!!!"
But the one I really want to draw attention to is the terrorist wired up standing on a box believing he will be electrocuted if he falls off. If he were electrocuted at anytime I would say that "Yes he had been tortured" but I don't know if I would call it a bad thing. In fact I know I wouldn't. Anyway, he was never going to be electrocuted so I do not call that torture. Allow me to tell a story from my retreat about that kind of situation.
On this retreat there were six of us guys and twelve girls. We had the highest percentage of attractive pussy compared to all the retreats as eight of those twelve ranged from "Not bad - would still like to shag her" up to "Would cut off my left nut to shag her!."
One thing we will never know......(not that we were upset at all)...... is which teacher had the idea of male dorm here, female dorm about twenty meters away, and the teachers' dorm a few hundred meters away almost on the opposite side of the grounds?
It was our final year before university. We were all extremely horny 17-18 year olds. The teachers were all on the other side of the compound. There were hot chicks and apparently some hot guys on the retreat.
A good mate caught up with some ladies we went to high school with recently (none from my retreat) and said they were asking what had happened to me and if I were married yet and how many of the girls in high school thought I was really hot and wanted to go out with me. I can say that is certainly not my recollection of my high school years but anyway...where was I.....
Oh right. The retreat. And on top of those factors we all decided what happened on retreat would stay on retreat. I had one extra condition and that was no cameras. (I guess some of my friends and some of the girls were budding exhibitionists...)
Anyway, there was one girl who I was really hot and hard for. And on our third night there she told me she knew how I felt about her and that it was my turn with her as she took me into her room that night. I strip off and lay on the bed. She strips off and puts her panties on my face, covering my eyes. She says not to peek or take them off or I will be getting nothing from her that night.
"Okay. What is this, may I ask?
"Don't worry. I just want to build your anticipation for a bit longer. I know how you have wanted this"
Here I am thinking that this is a fantasy come true when......
Flash. Click. Flash. Click. Flash. Click.
The bitch had a camera and was taking pictures. Now share with me my thought processes if you will. There I am, lying butt-ass naked on the bed, with a huge fucking boner sticking up at ninety degrees, euphoric with the thought of what was about to happen, when my brain registers a flash and click of a camera before flying into panic overload.
Pictures! What if the school sees them! What if my parents see them! What if my sister sees them! I will get expelled! What if she blackmails me to help her cheat on exams! I could be arrested! I won't go to uni!
On and on. I jumped up and ripped the panties off my head. Turned to her and she was doubled up on the ground laughing. She had also opened the door to her room and a couple of my mates and their partners for the evening were standing there cacking themselves laughing.
One of them says "You should see the look on your face!"
My partner handed me the camera. I open it up and...................no film. No film in the fucking camera.
Between breaths, my partner from the first night says "You were so insistent that there be no pictures, we all wanted to see what would happen if we took any of you."
I was speechless and just went and sat down on the bed before I started laughing about it too. I told her she had better make it up to me. (And she did but that is a story for another time and probably another website.....)
Anyway - back to my point.
Could what I felt during those moments, in which I thought pictures had been taken of me, be described as anything other than total 100% terror? No, they could not.
Now how does this fit in with Iraq and the guy wired up?
Like me, he was in no real danger. What the troops should have done was push him off the box. He would have gone through a moment of total 100% terror, then once he hit the ground and realized that he was not being electrocuted, he would have had a good laugh about it too.
As I said - I don't have a problem with torturing terrorists. I have stated on many occasions in the past that I am not interested in being better than my enemies. I am only interested in being more living than them. And more feared than them.
The US Army does have a problem with torturing terrorists and so soldiers are expected to conduct themselves accordingly. These soldiers didn't and should be dealt with.
Now I have one other thing to cover. This bullshit about us being no better than Saddam. You say that to my face and I will slam my fist into your face. Don't believe me? Try it then.
We are better than Saddam because:
a) the prisoners were in no real danger, unlike under Saddam
b) none of the injuries suffered (if any) would be life threatening, unlike under Saddam
c) none of the injuries suffered (if any) would be permanent, unlike under Saddam
d) the soldiers in question will be dealt with rather than rewarded, unlike under Saddam
Now even if these things did happen - even if they were in danger and the injuries would be permanent and/or life threatening - we would still ALWAYS be better than Saddam for one reason....
We did not knowingly torture anyone who was innocent. These prisoners are terrorists. They are not innocent. Until US troops start dragging in random people off the street because they short changed them at the market or said someone on American Idol sucks or walked with a limp in a real offensive way, we will ALWAYS be better than Saddam and his supporters.
Until then, do not fucking belittle the suffering under Saddam by a great many, totally innocent Iraqis by comparing it to the suffering of these terrorist fucks who would give anything to put Saddam back in power.
As I said before - want to say we are no better than Saddam? Come and do it to my face...
