Of guided missiles and misguided army

The presence of military dogs, prolonged isolation, sleep and sensory deprivation; forced public nakedness and being photographed while naked, enforced masturbation and feigned homosexual acts in front of an audience that included mocking young women soldiers...all are part of a well devised "Stress and duress" interrogation techniques. This is systematically adopted in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo and many other undisclosed 'prisons' with the ringing endorsement from the military high ups including Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers.

The 'noble' American intention of inflicting 'freedom' to a despot run Iraq, which floats on a sea of oil has always been questioned by how much blood for a gallon of oil? The present situation suggests that indeed "Freedom is the new F-word" as pointed out by Beth Lisick.

From My Lai in Vietnam to the jails in Iraq, the 'methods' of treating the 'suspected enemies' have been the same. A "few bad apples" theory will again save the large chunk of the army and two or three scapegoats will bear the burnt of court marshal. Uncle Sam will free another oil rich or strategically important state from a barbaric despot, to the celestial blessing of democracy.
