Pentagon consultant: "You don't keep prisoners naked (and handcuffed) in their cell and then let them get bitten by dogs. This is sick."

8) In his latest speech, Bush promised to bring further "freedom" to the "Ea-ra-keys" by -- wait for it -- building a 
new maximum security prison in place of the old one

But contrary to White House spin, Iraqis aren't at all happy about their >cough!< "liberation"...
"They have destroyed everything....They are the terrorists"
"Even Saddam wasn't as cruel as the Americans."
""The Americans must have no religion.... They worship force, not God."
