The World According to Wolfowitz A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION In March 2003, when several U.S. soldiers had been captured, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said in an interview with the New England Cable News Channel, "We have reminded the Iraqis -- and I'll do it if they are watching this program -- that there are very clear obligations under the Geneva Convention to treat prisoners humanely." Wolfowitz added: "We treat our own prisoners, and there are hundreds of Iraqi prisoners, extremely well. We feed them, we take care of them, they're very safe with us." See [LINK] Yeah, it does not get any safer than that... God help us. If this is an "extremely" good treatment, in Wolfie's mind, it makes one shudder to imagine what torture would look like. Wolfie has been too busy dreaming up the neo-cons grandiose world domination plans to notice that American soldiers get killed by the hundreds in Iraq, and the civilian Iraqis get butchered and raped either in their homes, or in American-run prisons. The Red Cross officials met with Wolfie in 2003 to alert him about the on-going abuse in American prisons. But his delirious mind apparently failed to register this event or its significance. Or, what's more probable -- and more terrible -- he, like his bosses, simply did not care. Signed, A Buzzer. A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION | ||||||
