IRAQI SCIENTIST HELD IN SOLITARY FOR TELLING THE TRUTH

Now even his CIA interrogators have stopped questioning him and are appealing for his release, so far unsuccessfully. He is held as a prisoner of war until George Bush declares the war over.

So a 66 year old man, guilty of nothing but telling the truth rots in a prison because he is an embarassing reminder of the lies of George Bush.

Original Guardian story.


From the comments:

"Usually I can predict what the winger response would be to just about any controversy."

Let's guess:

1) Clinton distraction: Hey, Clinton did bad things too. So that makes this okay.

2) Blame the victim: How do you know he isn't really a child raper?

3) Moral relavatism (wingnut edition): Saddam had rape rooms and did lots of nasty things that are probably myths. So that makes this okay.

4) Denial #1: Isolated incident.

5) Denial #2: It was due to a low-level Bureaucrat. Dear leader would never tolerate such behavior.

6) Blame the messenger: You liberals always hate America. I notice you didn't complain when .
