Abuse of Iraqi Prisoners at Abu Ghraib: Al Jazeera-- Same Propaganda, New Management; Saddam Hussein, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush; Ted Kennedy; CBS News; Photographs; Abusive Mistreatment versus Torture; Humiliation versus Cutting-off tongues and ears; Due Process; Whistle-Blowers; Courts Martial.·
A
speech Teddy recently uttered
made charges so stark it sent shudders:
A Kennedy speech
that typically preached
a theory from partisan gutters.
Comparing
Saddam Hussein's management
of prisons with torture for management
of tongues to detach,
claims Ted, Bush dispatched
our troops as mere changes in management.
In
war, Ted seeks partisan banishment
of old-time bi-partisan management
with charges to mirror
Mid-East's Al Jazeera--
The same propaganda, new management.
The
reason I'm picking on Teddy?
Because for the Left he's most steady
in twisting the news
with talent that proves
to run Al Jazeera he's ready.
That
mere common-sense erudition
contrasts, not compares, the conditions
in Abu-Ghraib chapters
"before" and then "after"
shows Ted propagandized conditions.
Twas
known that Saddam Hussein managed
his prisons to keep his advantage
for ruling by fear
by cutting-off ears
and tongues to maintain his advantage.
In
toppling Saddam, massive graves
were found as were video-tapes
of ruling by fear
by cutting-off ears
and tongues at that place, "Abu Ghraib."
When
prisons Americans seized,
they ended such torture and grief,
but later a few
have disobeyed rules
against lesser means to cause grief.
But
yet an American soldier
upon his becoming beholder
of photograph views
of pris'ner abuse
reported such wrongs by such soldiers.
On
learning the charge thus imparted,
the chain of command promptly started
the right thing to do:
Investigate who
from proper procedure departed.
Instead
of attempting to hide
the fact that such charges abide,
they told the whole world
the facts they'd unfurl
when charges are ripe to be tried.
However,
before the procedures
were finished a criminal leaker
gave CBS News
some pictures to view
by breaking due process procedures.
To
General Myers' request
that news for the "eye" CBS
delay exhibition
of photo-depictions,
the answer was "no" 'stead of "yes."
By
showing such pictures before
due process could open the door,
CBS thus preempted
the process invented
for courts-martial opening doors.
So,
eagerly, CBS News
for profit was willing to skew
the news in a way
to falsely convey
the Army was "hiding" such news.
At
CBS News they preferred
the profits they knew they'd incur
by premature showing
of pictures exploding
the risks for our troops to be hurt.
The
worst still remained yet to come
from partisan beating of gums
oblivious to
the dangers to troops
with words to taint all 'stead of some.
The
worst was the claim that was uttered
in language so stark it sent shudders:
A Kennedy speech
that pompously preached
a theory from partisan gutters.
Comparing
Saddam Hussein's management
of prisons with torture for management
of tongues to detach,
claims Ted, Bush dispatched
our troops as mere changes in management.
In
war, Ted seeks partisan banishment
of old-time bi-partisan management
with charges to mirror
Mid-East's Al Jazeera--
The same propaganda, new management.
