Abu Ghraib in the Suburbs

Abu Ghraib in the Suburbs 08/31/2004 01:12 PM

This just in from a married-with-kids-in-the-suburbs friend of mine (names changed to protect the guilty) ...

I  am in a pickle that involves color processing of a roll of 24 color prints -- ASA 400.  The issue involves developing a roll of color prints.My family (including our 8 year old son, Billy, and our 6 year old daughter, Susan) just got back from 3 weeks in Maine.  It was great fun. We had some friends visit for a few days with their 6 year old daughter.  One night while the adults were hanging out the kids were playing in their bedroom and got naked. Then a little while later, they called me in to see. "Mom, come see!" I went in and found Billy, my son, naked, and the girls had tied him to the bunk bed ladder and put a pillowcase over his head.  VERY stupidly and totally without thinking, I snapped a picture (#20 on roll of 24 color pictures) just to capture the visual moment because it struck me how innocent they were while creating such an awful vision. Of course, this was totally done in fun and the kids have no idea why I told them to stop. 

My problem: I'd like to develop this roll of color prints ------ because I want the other pictures on the roll but I do not know how a camera store would receive that one shot of Billy naked and tied up.

The New Yorker on the torture at Abu
Ghraib

The New Yorker on the torture at Abu
Ghraib 05/03/2004 08:43 PM

In case anyone missed this, there is a detailed article on the torture at Abu Ghraib in The New Yorker. Unlike the sniper rumor, this one is pretty much documented fact. I realize that this is obviously not standard behavior, but it is not a single wacko, but a group of soldiers. It's really quite appalling. How can something like this happen? What is the mood like among American soldiers in Iraq? Is there a general hatred or is it really isolated behavior? I can't imagine an occupying force being very successful without some basic respect for the local citizens.

I remember hearing that the occupying forces in post-war Japan were selected from soldiers who had not served in combat against the Japanese. Most of the stories you hear about the soldiers occupying Japan are good stories. I suppose it's easier to be nice when there is no resistance, but still... (My sister has a nice post about the story of our family's first interaction with the US occupation of Japan.)

I also heard from a Spanish friend of mine that there is very little if no hatred towards Muslims after the 3/11 attack in Madrid. People realize that it is a splinter group and are not blaming the Muslims.

I don't want to over-generalize, but trying to link Al Qaeda to Iraq and some of the hate crimes against Muslims in the US really highlights the lack of racial sympathy or understanding on the US's part. I think the US really needs to figure out how to deal with this racial intolerance and ignorance if it's going to try do any kind of nation building.

Before someone else says it, I think racism in Japan is also very bad, but we're not toppling regimes and trying to rebuild them. I wouldn't trust Japan with that either.

Were children raped at Abu Ghraib?

Were children raped at Abu Ghraib? 07/15/2004 05:27 PM

Hersh: children raped at Abu Ghraib, Pentagon has videos

From Daily Kos' partial transcript of a video (link to stream) of Seymour Hersh speaking at an ACLU event. According to this transcript, Hersh says the US government has videotapes of children being raped at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

"The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it's going to come out... a massive amount of criminal wrongdoing was covered up at the highest command out there, and higher."

Link (via Warren).

There's also a piece worth reading in this week's Newsweek about new allegations of rape and sexual torture at Abu Ghraib. Feature includes details on the identities of the Iraqi prisoners shown in those widely-circulated photographs -- including Satar Jabar (charged with carjacking, not terrorism), whose iconic hooded figure with wires attached is derisively described by many Iraqis as the "Statue of Liberty." LinkTed Turner also mentioned something about sodomy at Abu Ghraib last night, I think. I wonder if this is what he was talking about.

What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means

What the Attack on Abu Ghraib Means 04/04/2005 12:46 PM
As I mentioned earlier, the attack on Abu Ghraib is proof that al Qaeda is now officially in Iraq.  The execution followed a classic al Qaeda pattern.  Here are some things that the press missed in the little coverage they provided:

• The level of sophistication.  Swarming and feints.
• Large number of attackers (50).
• Low casualties for attackers killed (~1 maybe).
• No prior intelligence on a large, well planned attack of this size.
• Weapons mix:  RPGs, VBIEDs, and small arms.

This is problematic.  This attack demonstrates that Al Qaeda can now mount an attack of the size and sophistication necessary to over-run a large number of US troops.An over-run could produce significant US casualties and captives.
