Gen. Antonio Taguba Scandal Abuse Testimony To The Armed Services Committee

Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba.
His credo. Maintain our integrity and sensitivity, be mind full of our personal moral obligation.
He was sent to Baghdad and filed a report on the Abu Gharaib prison.
In September Taguba reported flagrant mistreatment, and sadistic abuse, blatant, wanton, criminal abuse. Military police, private contractors, CIA and military investigators were involved.

Taguba. What went wrong: Participation of other government agents, OGA or MI. Lack of discipline, lack of supervision, failure of leadership.
Purposeful, willful violation. Moving prisoners around to avoid ICRC inspections. They changed the level of brutality 4 times from acceptable to barbaric treatment. The abuses were wide spread.

Gen. Taguba is commended for his services, he is in uniform 32 years. He is a man of essence, honor and truth.
The world is watching.

. Inhofe a senator at the inquest, a fine Nazi. He is defusing the issue he is whining about Saddam not what we are looking at now or what the problem with military police, CIA, and the private Contractors is.
This is precisely how we get Saddams, if nothing is being done about the Bushes and Inhofes.
Inhofe thinks it’s perfectly OK. To use brutality on innocent people. Yes sir he is a fine Nazi.

Targeting civilians is not sanctioned under the Geneva Convention or under military law under any circumstances.
Things executed by US, Britain is clearly a breakdown of the Geneva Convention.

Imagine this:
You are sitting in a barbershop chair getting a haircut. US military come in start beating you with metal pipes until you bleed from the mouth, you pass out, you regain consciousness and find yourself in a dog cage naked, you are given bare amounts of food and water. You are then hung by your hands from a tree and told that your wife will be hung also. This is what happened to an Iraqi man who was innocent.

Private Contractors may not perform interrogations except under supervision of military.
Gen. Lance Smith a number of investigations are ongoing proper procedures should be implemented.

Henchman Miller said, Gitmorise Abu Gharaib, that means we are going to use the template made by Rumsfeld, upgrading mistreatment at Abu Gharaib and use Guantanamo torture methods.
Bremer knew how the prisons were run.
Rumsfeld gave advice to these procedures in Guantanamo, Stress positions sleep depravation, barbarous mistreatment. Rumsfeld had not only knowledge of what was going on but gave orders to tighten barbarian treatment to get information from prisoners, guilty or not.
Senator Daniel Akaka commanded Gen. Taguba and his team for an honest, moral and courageous report.

Failure of leadership, Karpinsky had 8 battalions under her command and was not often at Abu Gharaib.
The ICRC made recommendations to Karpinski she replied on December 24 2003. Nothing was done.

To sum it up Gen. Antonio Taguba is an honest man a luminary and if the administration had just a small fraction of what this man possesses we wouldn’t be in this dirty dilemma.

Where there is smoke there is fire.
Sanctions against Syria from Bush, Israel going to bomb nuclear facility in Iran? Rumor or intent?
These two countries have been targeted by Bush and are in his cross hairs for some time.

Thank you Dow Chemical a splendid accomplishment. In Vietnam Dow used 42.000.000 liters of Agent Orange. Killing and maiming people to this day since the Vietnam War, is OK when its big business. How much money did Dow make on this crime? Does Dow care, do governments care?

DU (depleted Uranium) will have the same long lasting effect on people of the Middle East. Leukemia and other cancers, boils, skin problems, birth defects and other assorted horrors. Who is morally and financially responsible?
DU is not harmless contrary to claims by the falsifying Bush government.
Maybe Bush would like some of that harmless DU dumped on his ranch. Why not, it’s harmless.
