SPB News for Wednesday.



Retreating now would embolden Iran, aid al- Qaeda with WMD funds.

McCain Was Right, Iran Works with Al Qaeda — Some bloggers are jumping all over Senator John McCain for his supposed “gaffe” today. According to The Trail, a blog over at the Washington Post, McCain said that Iranian operatives were “taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back.”

15-year-old Guantanamo prisoner says interrogators threatened him with rape In a fresh document from the Guantánamo war court files, Canadian captive Omar Khadr alleges that he was repeatedly threatened with rape as an interrogation technique in Afghanistan and at U.S. Navy base in Cuba. Much of the partially censored nine-page affidavit, signed by Khadr on Feb. 22, covers old ground already investigated, including allegations of abuse at Guantánamo that emerged in 2005, prompting a Navy criminal investigation. But the document includes never-before revealed allegations, such as the rape threats. He was 15.

Khadr accuses U.S. interrogators of abuse --One interrogator court-martialled after an Afghan prisoner was beaten to death Canadian terror suspect Omar Khadr says he was terribly abused by U.S. interrogators who dropped him, repeatedly pushed his masked face into a wall until he passed out and threatened him with rape.

Bush says after 5 years the war was worth it, tell it to all the soldiers, the Iraqi civilians, whichever are not dead or displaced in many other countries never to be reunited with their families again.

McCain is a bumbling war monger imbecile.......enough said, if you want more of the same and to run this country totally to the ground he can certainly carry on without skipping a beat where the Cheney Administration left off and continue this downward spiral of becoming a two class country.

What really bothers me the most is how the US has treated prisoners. Raping men/woman/kids and torturing men/woman/kids. This will been something the World remembers for generations as how low we have gone. Yes we destroyed our Nation but the horrors of what this once great country stood for is gone. Words mean nothing as I would say what would Americans say if a country treated us like we treated those in the Middle East.
