The story linked to above in the New York Times puts my previous post to shame. I simply do not have words to describe how horrified I truly am. I don't even have the heart to post exerpts because I simply cannot read it again to try and isolate them for you. The article is long, detailed, sad, brutal, honest and horrifying and I recommend reading every single word of it. If you do not it is as if you too have your head buried in the sand.
Yes it is hard. Yes it is humiliating. You must still read it. You cannot understand the truth of what is going on in your name unless you do. Hiding from it will not wash away the sin. There is evil being done in the name of the USA and it is YOUR job to bring it to light, not bury it. It is YOUR responsibility to let your leaders know that actions such as this will NOT be tolerated and similarily whitewashing of these events and a few token trials will not SATISFY you.
For gawd's sake what are the american people WAITING for? Why aren't they out in the streets Why aren't they demanding answers?
The line that resonates with me the most in this article was the last, and the truth of it breaks my heart.
He also added a detail that had been overlooked in the investigative file. By the time Mr. Dilawar was taken into his final interrogations, he said, "most of us were convinced that the detainee was innocent."Innocent. Dead. Do you really think these two were the only ones? Do you think your silence will save any more innocents? How many more have to die to satisfy Bush's blood lust for revenge.
