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
CommentsI'm angry too. Only, I'm angry that we don't fight and kill them all. Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on June 1, 2004 05:46 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?

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
