Remember Abu Ghraib? Donald Rumsfeld was "shocked" by the pictures. Soldiers were prosecuted. Yet, no one died, or apparently was physically injured. The whole thing, disgraceful as it was, was OVERBLOWN by an American media that is ANTI-AMERICAN, and by leftist Democrats (includnig elected politicians) who carry their attacks on the Bush Administration well byond the pale--again to the point of being ANTI-AMIERCAN. Yes, this same attiatude has carried over to Guantanamo, where one of the detainees (TERRORIST, especially in this case) has just been charged with the murderous al-Qaida attack on the U.S.S. Cole.
Okay. Say you were an employee of the Associated Press, and AOL "News". That means that you are either ANTI-AMERICAN, or willing to cater to anti-American leftists who regard the Bush Administration as a greater enemy than al-Qaida. What yould be your reaction if 3 Abu Ghraib "detainees" were to sue U.S. DDEFENSE CONTRATORS, alleging torture at Abu Ghraib. Right. You get the picture.
If you were with the despicable Associated Press, or AOL, this would be a perfect opportunity to REHASH the whole saga of Abu Ghraib--your GLORY days before Iraq started going WELL and Americans ceased to care very much (other than to hope we might acutally WIN, which true leftists like Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest do NOT hope).
Yes, that is what has happened tonight. The despicable AP is running a story about 3 Abu Ghraib former inmates suing U.S. defense contractors for alleged torture at Abu Ghraib (more about that later). The AP/AOL story is accompanied by that picture of a woman soldier holding an Iraqi man on a lease, which has NOTHING to do with the lawsuit (but EVERYTHING to do with the anti-American agenda of the left and the AP, which also happens to be behind the lawsuit). Here is the lead:
"Three Iraqis and a Jordanian filed federal lawsuits Monday alleging they were tortured by U.S. defense contractors while detained at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2003 and 2004."
First, ask yourself: Is this OLD NEWS? Read the above paragraph. Of course it is old "news" (perhaps so old as to bring the statute of limitations into play). The above paragraph refers to 2003 and 2004. This is UNIMMPORTANT STUFF. It is only important to the despicable Associated Press, and the rest of the mainstream media, for the very reason that it gives them a chance to TRASH the U.S. military once again. These are the same people (leftists) who say they "support the troops". Like Hell they do!!!
Then ask yourself whether these three "former inmates" came up with this idea on their own. Again, like Hell they did!!! This is a ploy of the ANTI-AMIERCAN LEFT--international AND American left. It is a direct attack on the United States of American, ounting on the support of the anti-American mainstream media. As expected, they are already getting that support.
Do I KNOW this. Damn right I do. Guess what? My younger, feminist (sometimes leftist) daughter, Kyla, was a law student at the University of Virginia School of Law. She graduated in May.
What was one of her papers in her last semester? You probably have not guessed. It was about theories upon which people allegedly tortured by American government employees could sue in Federal Court. That is actually, for all intents and purposes, IMPOSSIBLE, and my daughter was unable to come up with a convincing reason why it was possible.
WHY is it impossible? It is because of a little doctrine called sovereing immunity. That doctrine prevents people suing the U.S. without permission. The only "permission" is containted in a statute called the "Tort Claims Act", which does NOT give foreign prisoners the right to sue. Nor can foreing nationals sue under OUR Constitution for violaton of the Constitutional rights they do not have. But what about EMPLOYEES of the Federal Government--you know, the CIA agents and soldiers themselves? Weel, they have immunity as well, and Federal court decisions indicate that people like these Abu Ghraib inmates cannot sue employees either for "torture".
I asked my daughter WHY anyone would WANT to sue mere employees, who usually don't have assets worth getting, although I well knew the answer. It is the modus operandi of the LEFT to attempt to USE the Federal Courts for their POLITICAL purposes. The point here is NOT money (which civil lawsuits are supposed to be about). The point here is to EMBARASS the U.S. in court--whether it means taking on patriots doing their best, soldiers who made mistakes, or anyone else.
These, again (the leftists doing everyinthing they can to rehash OLD grievances against the U.S., which were overblown to begin with)are people who want to be called "patriots". I am sorry. Hell will freeze over before I will call these people patriots. I call them what they are: anti-American leftists.
Now these leftists obviously could do no better than my daughter (maybe not even as well--she is pretty smart) in figuring out a way to sue the U.S. or U.S. soldiers or employees. What to do; what to do. Well, someone obviously came up with the bright idea that independent contractors do not have this immunity that the U.S. and its employees have. Then they obviously sought out , and probably prepped, some Abu Ghraib inamates to make plausible enough allegations to try to take on the U.S. BY PROXY, in Federal Court--to advance the anti-American, leftist agenda in Federal Court, which is one of the things that leftists DO.
The question arises: Do I PAY leftists to prove me RIGHT (see earlier entries and comments today on "patriotism")? Nope. I don't. I could never make this stuff up.
Here is my post under the AOL story earlier today, which is somewhat repetitive of the above, but still accurately sets forth my sentiments:
