CONDUCT
UNBECOMING
They're
images right out of Buchenwald....
Stripped
and hooded prisoners, arms outstretched, electrodes wired to their
fingers and genitals. A line of naked men being taunted and humiliated
by a young female guard. A youth with a bloodied face, prostrate
on the ground, being urinated upon by laughing GI's..........And
reports of photos withheld from the public: Of a teenaged male prisoner
being beaten and sodomized.
But
these images aren't from the concentration camps of 1930's Nazi
Germany. They are from the infamous Abu Ghraib Prison in George
W. Bush's Imperial Iraq, circa 2004....... (Or Guantanamo East as
it is often referred to).
On
the Network News, Mr. Bush says he is "sickened" by the
photographs being broadcast around the globe. He informs us that
those responsible have been charged, and that the Army is conducting
a thorough investigation. We should all feel relieved.
Next
up, we are told by the realtives of those charged with crimes in
this matter, that their sons and daughters aren't monsters. They
tearfully inform us that they're just ordinary kids caught up in
extraordinary circumstances.... And that, "They were just following
orders."
Sound
familiar?
...This is what
America has become under Mr. Bush's leadership: A Technicolor rerun
of Nazi Germany. Only this time it's Arabs, instead of Jews and
Gypsies, being systematically exterminated....
.....at
least for the time being.
Because
remember that Fascism always STARTS with ONE ethnic group being
singled out as the CAUSE of all of Society's Problems. In the 1930's
Hitler chose the Jews (and later added Gypsies and homosexuals).
Today Bush Jr. has chosen the "Evil-doer" Iraqis as the
target. But under provisions of the PATRIOT Act, Mr. Bush can designate
ANYBODY a SUSPECTED TERRORIST, and have them "Disappeared"....
And that includes AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! So much for the Fourth and
Fourteenth Amendments.
When
he took office (no pun intended), Mr. Bush swore an oath to God
that he would uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
And each day he has remained in office he has broken that oath.........
Besides
TREASON and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, This entire MalAdministration
is guilty of
CONDUCT UNBECOMING A HUMAN BEING.
