An Australian television network today broadcast photographs and video clips it said were previously unpublished images of the alleged abuse of Iraqis held in military custody at Abu Ghraib prison.The images were taken at Abu Ghraib in late 2003 at about the same time as previously published photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse, the Special Broadcasting Service's "Dateline" programme reported.

when you read the words of Blair's supporters, remember these pictures

16.02.2006 04:05

The US government, and journalists working for the BBC and ITN, have stated that these photos should NEVER have been released to the public because they are years(!) old, and those involved have been punished (a bare-face lie, especially as Rumsfeld stated that HE was ultimately responsible).

Now my point is simple. The racist thugs that back Blair, and his CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Serbia and on and on, are often found stating that certain images from World War 2 must NEVER be forgotten, but that images showing the recent WAR CRIMES of the West must be forgotten immediately. Now, if I were Hitler, I'd understand the logic of this position- namely highlight the long past crimes of others, and eliminate all reference to one's own crimes, in order to permit even more wicked crimes in the future.

If I wasn't Hitler, I'd think such hypocrisy proof enough that the supporters of Blair fully expect him to carry out sickening acts every bit as bad as the worst crimes of World War 2.

The unreleased photos and videos from Abu Gharaib show Blair's forces raping and torturing women and children. Blair and Bush have stated that these images of their crimes MUST NOT be released ever.

Blair's people claim to believe that racism is wrong. However, if one were to take the sum total paid in compensation for every Iraqi raped, tortured, or murdered by Blair's forces across Iraq, it comes to LESS than the compensation paid to the family of a SINGLE victim of the Lockerbie bombing. Of course, Lockerbie compensation was extracted by force from the extremely poor nation of Libya. The laughable pittance paid by Blair to victims of his War Crimes is stolen from the oil profits of Iraq itself. There is no greater proof of racism than in the different monetary values Blair's people place on the lives of humans. If Blair's people are so obviously racist, one may well ask exactly what THEY hope to achieve by selectively remembering the crimes of the past, for it most certainly is NOT avoiding racist crimes in the future.

My question- given the total depravity of Blair, and the acts that he has thus far been responsible for, how do the supporters of Blair (like those that cheerfully voted with him in the House of Commons) differ from those that actively supported Adolf Hitler?

Blair, and those that voted with him for War with Iraq, are directly responsible for every act of rape, torture, and murder that occured in Abu Gharaib then, and are STILL occuring in Abu Gharaib, and Blair's other torture facilities across Iraq and the globe TODAY. I want ALL of these people to face a 'Nuremberg Trial', and when convicted, the same fate as their nazi predecessors. I am puzzled at ANYONE that would claim a desire for justice, and yet would expect less than this.
