EGAD

The Red Cross reporting that 90% of those we rounded up were innocent, that documentation of rape and murder is forthcoming, there was unforgivable cultural ignorance (beating people because they wouldn't respond to orders in English), and the shock that the United States, speaking "freedom" out of every side of our mouth, sanctions crude, visible, and very real, oppression. The humiliation and terror our military inflicted on detainees in these instances is only a battery and a body bag away from fascism.
