RAMADI MADNESS: HOW CHILDREN CAN BECOME TOOLS OF FASCISM

The American Civil Liberties Union has been kicking ass with their Freedom of Information Act request for information regarding torture and other matters (the information they've received so far has now led to a lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld). See this earlier post for some of what they uncovered last month. The latest news is that they've uncovered a video of U.S. soldiers playing with an Iraqi corpse, cuddling a kitten, and kicking a handcuffed Iraqi in the head. What is strange is that the Army's own investigation of the video - also released - speaks of an Iraqi being hit in the head by the butt of a rifle while being interrogated, but the copy of the video obtained by the Palm Beach Post apparently shows nothing like this. Perhaps they have a highly-edited version.
