[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The previous occupant's mass media didn't flood the papers/airwaves with every bad thing he did and every person he tormented. If they had, they would have needed a 24-hr. "All Torture Network." (With Actual Death!) Fortunately, they now have the Western Media Fifth Column - er, Fourth Estate - to do this for them. Of course, this is the same media which admitted to intentionally not telling news stories about said occupant.

A 31-year-old Kuwaiti woman, Asrar Qabandi, was captured by Iraqi secret police occupying her country in 1990 for "crimes," one of which included speaking with CNN on the phone. They beat her daily for two months, forcing her father to watch. In January 1991, on the eve of the American-led offensive, they smashed her skull and tore her body apart limb by limb. A plastic bag containing her body parts was left on the doorstep of her family's home.[/QUOTE]Now that's "prisoner abuse." [/QB][/QUOTE]
