mike whitney : reincarnating mengele; the torture doctors of abu ghraib.



evil? gruesome? sickening?



think it would never happen here?



gerry adams : i have been in torture photos, too; abu ghraib is no surprise to irish republicans, "once i was aroused from unconsciousness by a british army doctor. he seemed concerned about damage to my kidneys. after he examined me he left and the beatings began again."



so, a british army doctor revived a prisoner so he could be further tortured - a phrase whitney repeated in his article, above, because he was so shocked and sickened by it. there is nothing new in the cruelties meted out by humans to humans that the british government has not tried and condoned. after all, who invented the concentration camps so recently revived by the u.s. at guantanamo bay?



and don't think it's just a few, 'renegade', psychotic doctors who condone this behaviour. i know a woman, a psychologist, mother of two children, who has said that she'd be happy to use the data that mengele and his butchers gathered, 'cos "it'd be a pity to waste the data, never mind how it was come by".



and she's allowed to call the shots about how often her ex-husband's allowed to see his child!
