FEMALE SOLDIERS SERVING IN IRAQ (EXCELLENT VIDEO)


In light of what we have been posting about the suicide of Allysa Peterson, a 27-year old member of the U.S. Army assigned to TORTURE Iraqi prisoners, we thought we would post a video showing how women perform their tasks as members of the United States military on duty in Iraq.

FURTHER UPDATE ON FEMALE SOLDIER WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE FOR NOT PARTICIPATING IN TORTURE OF IRAQI PRISONERS


Allysa Peterson was a beautiful 27-year old soldier assigned to an Iraqi prison where torture techniques were being used on Iraqi prisoners. Allysa had already seen what the Bush/Cheney "regime" wanted done to Iraqi prisoners and it had sickened her. She refused to be a part of the barbaric practice of torturing Iraqi prisoners and committed suicide. For years the Bush/Cheney "regime" and the U.S. military covered up the cause of her death, but now the full story has come out. Allysa's untimely death is just another nail in the coffin that hopefully will bring former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney before a judge and jury where they along with others from the Bush administration will be charged with WAR CRIMES.

A US soldier who worked as an interpreter in Iraq's prisons has shot herself dead after witnessing harsh interrogation methods by the US military.

Alyssa Peterson from Arizona shot herself with her service rifle at Tal-Afar air base in northern Iraq on September 15, 2003, the Independent reported on Sunday

Peterson had protested to her superiors about the torture tactics that were very different from the ones she had known in training and had asked to be reassigned before the incident.

The cause of her death was kept secret for two years, and the mystery of what Peterson witnessed, and the content of the notes she made, still goes on.

An Arab-speaker, Peterson was assigned to work as an interpreter at interrogation sessions in a unit known as "The Cage." After only two nights, she refused to take further part in the sessions and was reassigned, according to the Independent.

Her family was told she had died from a "non-hostile weapons discharge." The army revealed Peterson had killed herself after Arizona reporter Kevin Elston investigated the case.

The army refused to say what interrogation she objected to, and maintain that all documents relating to methods used at Tal-Afar have been destroyed.

BILL O'REILLY ARGUES WITH CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS OVER TORTURE AND "WATERBOARDING" (WATCH VIDEO)


As the blog post below shows, Christopher Hitchens of Vanity Fair magazine volunteered to go through a waterboarding process and in this video you see Hitchens arguing with FOX NEWS' Bill O'Reilly over torture and waterboarding. I counted at least two times where O'Reilly, as usual, had his facts wrong.
