Iraqi prisoner died under interrogation
Fraternity pranks, Mr. Limbaugh? Eff you.
An Iraqi whose corpse was photographed with grinning U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib died under CIA interrogation while in a position condemned by human rights groups as torture _ suspended by his wrists, with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to reports reviewed by The Associated Press.
One Army guard, Sgt. Jeffery Frost, said the prisoner's arms were stretched behind him in a way he had never before seen. Frost told investigators he was surprised al-Jamadi's arms "didn't pop out of their sockets," according to a summary of his interview.
Frost and other guards had been summoned to reposition al-Jamadi, who an interrogator said was not cooperating. As the guards released the shackles and lowered al-Jamadi, blood gushed from his mouth "as if a faucet had been turned on," according to the interview summary.
Full story from the AP.

Stephen,
Is that really your honest response to this? It's so cold it's amazing.

Jim, bad people do bad things everywhere, all the time. It is, sadly, a fact of life. Why should I feel any worse about this guy than I do for people that wind up like him in prisons in every country in the world? When was the last time YOU gave two shits about somebody tortured to death in a prison, who's untimely passing couldnt be used to make a political point on the web? Where's the outrage for Nick Berg? Not on the front page. Where's the outrage for people abused in our prisons at home? Not here, thats for damn sure.
This is sick, twisted, wrong, and disturbing, but NOT any worse than anybody else's death. There are parents IN THE USA that do this TO THEIR CHILDREN. Of course, nobody here finds these cases, calls for life imprisonment for the parents, and the resignation of the local police chief and Child Services head.
So cold, yeah. Amazing, no. The guy got killed in prison. Suprise suprise. The mock and or misplaced shock and outrage on the part of the left is what's really amazing.

Stephen,
You really don't get it, do you?

Oh, I do. The only deaths that matter are the ones that are useful in promoting your worldview.
