New York Times Scoop: Families of Iraqi Terrorists are Very, Very Angry That We Fight and Arrest Them
A larger version of this photo, above the fold, three-quarters of the width of the broadsheet-- runs on today's New York Times page one. With all the anger over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, the scandal has deepened another reality for hundreds of Iraqi families possibly thousands: a searing uncertainty over missing loved ones. The accompanying article is full of surprising details, like the fact that the fates of many terrorists fighting a war against the US remain unclear, and that people who knew these solid citizens are very very sad about that: Khraisan al-Aballi and his 80-year-old father were taken into custody, and for 10 days, he contends, he was tortured: stripped naked and forced to stand and kneel for hours; kicked and beaten with a stick; ordered to confess with a gun to his head. The charge, he said, was that the family had been harboring one of Iraq's former vice presidents, Izzat Ibrahim a man Mr. Aballi said he had never met. Well, if he said so, then you've got a point! A year later, Mr. Aballi still has the marks from the handcuffs on his wrists, as well as a deep scar of anger at Americans who he says moved too quickly from suspicion to torture and have not respected Iraqis enough to provide information as basic as whether his brother is alive or dead. Hmmm... the man's body displays no outward physical evidence of abuse, apart from marks from handcuffs. But this dilligent New York Times reporter looks deeper, and sees a wound that can never heal: "a deep scar of anger at Americans." They're angling for another Pulitzer. Note: Somehow this news-free non-story, which credulously prints up the claims of terrorists and terrorist-enablers as uncontroverted fact, slipped by the New York Times' famously conservative cadre of right-wing editors. posted by Ace at 04:01 PM

I think there's a legitimate story in there: Saddam Hussein had a looong time to screw up the criminal justice system in Iraq, and it is not yet working smoothly in all parts of the country. So some people may be incarcerated for a long time for minor things, with no real communication with family or friends. Under such circumstances, wouldn't you be unhappy that your family member had disappeared into a prison somewhere? It is one thing to say there's a legitimate story, and another thing entirely to try to convince Americans that all Iraqis now hate all Americans forever based on the manifest injustice of jailing any Iraqi under any circumstance. I just wanted to point out that during the reconstruction of Iraq, people will suffer unjustly, and that sucks, and that's something the U.S. should genuinely be concerned about. But that observation can be pointed out in the tone of "Hey, let's work to fix this," or in the tone of "Here's more proof that George W. Bush is the love child of Hitler and Satan."

Perhaps they're just trying to regain their balance after having discovered all those tremendous errors they "admitted to" the other day. Assholes. Posted by: Patton on June 2, 2004 12:54 AM
Evil, evil, pure evil. The New York Times , AKA Pravda, and The Communist News Network are more insidious enemies than the Iraqui "freedom fighters," er, we mean "insurgents," ah, no, make that foreign terrorists who just want to kill Americans. Posted by: Sailor Kenshin on June 2, 2004 10:59 AM
Patton, I don't know if you saw Hannity and Colmes the other day, but Alan was arguing that the media has been more favorable to Bush than to Kerry. His evidence for this was their admission, to which you referred, that they had given Bush in the months leading up to the war. Of course, the Times stating that they are too lenient is no more evidence than the Times stating that they are unbiased. The only evidence Alan Colmes could reasonably rely upon would be an objective study of what the Times actually said in the months leading up to the war, not their characterization of what they said. I am astounded that anyone could argue that the media has treated Bush more favorably than Kerry. Absolutely astounded. Oh, and did you hear what Al Franken said yesterday?

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
