Susan, I miss the Raising Hell blog too. Like many group blogs, it just petered out, and then the domain name expired and we decided not to renew. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with all the content, which I saved.

The big excuse i’m picking up from the grunt perspective is the “we weren’t trained properly” thing. That is, in itself, no excuse for totally inhumane treatment of POWs. But far more troubling is that, if it’s true, who the hell is so stupid as to place people with NO TRAINING in terms of handling POWs in charge of POWs? Does this mean we just don’t have people trained in that prior to a massive invasion? If so, that’s some wicked bad planning and reason enough to believe that the Bush administration has completely bungled the job.

I know that all soldiers (for sure officers) get training in the primary aspects of the rules stated in the Geneva Convention, so claiming they didn’t know about it is just stupid, and the fact that this didn’t get “cascaded” through the organization is only a half-hearted, lame excuse. The fact that they photographed themselves commiting, in essence, war crimes, proves their total idiocy.

Really, this needs to go up to the top, and motherf*ckers need to lose their jobs (it’d be nice if it were Bush). Maybe we should do a clean sweep like so:

fire the grunts
fire their CO
fire her CO
fire the head of the Division
fire the Defense Secretary
and ideally, fire Bush.

sh!t, i just realized how fried my brain is. newborn in the house and all… i’m speaking in strange voices and it’s not even for entertainment purposes — just pure mania

chapter books! with characters with personalities distinct enough to deserve voices! finally!
like a reword for all the times i had to read pretty but then increasingly tedious “the very hungry catepillar”, which is reportedly you know who’s favorite book.
