More Prisoner Abuse Pics on the way, Thanks to the ACLU and a Judge

So, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein has ordered the Government to release more pictures is the poor prisoners being embarassed by some juvenile guards. All at the prodding of the ACLU.
What purpose will this serve? Who will suffer when the pics are sent around the world?
The troops in the middle east will suffer. They will be targeted more so than they already are.
Also,some innocent people in those barbaric countries will be killed just like they were when the first pics came out and when the stories circulated about their precious Koran (or however the hell you spell it) being flushed down a toilet. The government tried to stop it because of this.
The misguided judge chose otherwise:
U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein said that terrorists "do not need pretexts for their barbarism" and that suppressing the pictures would amount to submitting to blackmail.

"Our nation does not surrender to blackmail, and fear of blackmail is not a legally sufficient argument to prevent us from performing a statutory command. Indeed, the freedoms that we champion are as important to our success in Iraq and Afghanistan as the guns and missiles with which our troops are armed," he said.


Is he saying the US Government is trying to commit blackmail by suppressing the pics? How INSANE is that?

The ACLU has been trying to get them out all along, which is no surprise. Anytime the ACLU can embarrass this government, they will do so. Just watch. Whenever you see a protest, a legal action against our government, or an outrageous claim against our government, you can bet the ACLU will be somewhere back there, prodding.

The American Civil Liberties Union sought release of the photographs and videotapes as part of an October 2003 lawsuit demanding information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and the transfer of prisoners to countries known to use torture. The ACLU contends that prisoner abuse is systemic.

"It's a historic ruling, said ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero. "While no one wants to see what's on the photos or videos, they will play an essential role in holding our government leaders accountable for the torture that's happened on their watch."


Just a sec....had to get the duct tape...Fine I will be watching and I want to see just how "accountable" the ACLU and this insane judge will be when people get killed. I want to see how they'll squirm out of it.

Nailing It

Subject: Mc Comb aftermath of Katrina To my friends and family: From a Mc Comb Resident

WHAT I HAVE SEEN SINCE KATRINA AND RITA:

The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm.

Black, white, Hispanic, Oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.

Christian people giving, giving, giving.

Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name.

Neighbors going door to door helping one another.

Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.

Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the peace.

People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because shelters are full.

Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for now a week still serving it.

The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do in a crisis.

The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters.

The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community.

Four Hundred crewman from everywhere bring back the power to our homes, churches and businesses.

Lines at service stations a block to a mile long.

National Guardsman patrolling the streets of Mc Comb along with Kentucky policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of Mc Comb, Pike County and New Orleans (the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina.)

Drug dealers working outside shelters.

Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly, even sleeping in the hospital to do the job God called them to do.

WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN:

The ACLU setting up a feeding line.

People for the American Way helping in the shelters.

The NAACP doing any work whatsoever.

The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters.

Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations.

People from Move On .Org doing anything constructive.

I could go on but you get my message. Its the Christian people with love and compassion who do the work.

The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice. Are you listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the Gulf Coast.

Boy I feel better now.

Teddy will never volunteer to help in any mess like this one, remember, Teddy doesn't help anyone in deep water.

Lovely Rita Passes On

Well, kinda anticlimatic ending I guess. Rita decided to go East instead and all we got was a warm breeze. I'm recuperating from putting up all the boards. So, three days and 560 dollars later...all is back to normal. How can I tell?
Because Wal-Mart is open again.
