It's pretty sad when the truth has to come from a daily comic strip...
The first thing I thought when I heard and read about the abuse in Iraq was "That's it?". Let me tell you all something. What we do to prisoners in the US is worse than anything I have seen in the papers going on in Iraq.
Whoever said prisoners here have rights is so far off base it isn't even funny. Perhaps people like Martha Stewart, who are in federal country club prisons, have it like this. Try spending a little time in a State or County jail. I think you would see things a whole lot different. Stop believing what the lying liberal media tells you.
And, whoever stated you have to be convicted of something to be in jail here: Please!
You need to have your facts in order before you make statements like that. There are PLENTY of people in jail here who have been convicted of nothing. I myself was in jail for 4 months, only becuase a judge said that is where I should be. I was never convicted of anything, since I never DID anything.
If our hearts should bleed, it should be for the cruel treatment of our own people.
