Title: Bloodied Uniforms and Torture Device?
Post by: aknimitz on March 30, 2003, 05:20:08 AM
From cnn.com:


The uniforms, found by U.S. troops who took over the hospital, appeared to have had their name tags and flag patches ripped off, perhaps to hide the identity of their owners, the official said.

The troops also discovered what appeared to be a torture device made of a metal cot and a car battery.

The fatigues were found inside a plastic bag in the same hospital where U.S. troops found Iraqi gas masks, chemical protective suits, guns, ammunition and a tank earlier this week.

The uniforms appear to belong to some of the members of the Army's 507th Ordnance Maintenance Company who were ambushed March 23 in Nasiriya. Two soldiers were known to have been killed. Eight others are missing, and five were taken as prisoners of war.

Officials said they think some of the soldiers were in the hospital after the ambush but do not know how long they might have been there or where they were taken.

Pentagon officials said some remnants appear to be from a woman's uniform. Three of the ambushed soldiers were women; one is known to be a POW.

U.S. forces took the uniforms from the hospital and will send them for forensic testing.

They didn't mention this, but I watched a reporter go through this room on TV. On the side of the car battery in big red letters it said "France." Not that there's any law against selling car batteries, I just thought it was ironic.

He said it's ironic.  He didn't say he's blaming the cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys for having a hand in this.

Here we see the double stantards very well...

Somewhile ago if someone critisized US war mongering, he was tagged as anti-american, even though it couldn't be further from the truth what comes to the actual term.

Now americans are bashing french even worse than the anti-war crowds in europe did for US.

and of course some american will consider this as rightful thing to do as they have a good reason for it...  as if europeans didn't have a good reason - hypocriticism.

Well, just goes to prove that Saddam and his people just can't help being beastly, even when they *know* the effect these revelations will have on the American public (and, I might add on the motivation of our troops).  To the best of my knowledge, even Hitler refrained from torturing American and British POWs.
