Twenty years ago this month, photos of abused prisoners and smiling U.S. soldiers guarding them at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison were released, shocking the world.
Now, three survivors of Abu Ghraib will finally get their day in U.S. court against the military contractor they hold responsible for their mistreatment.
The trial is scheduled to begin Monday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, and will be the first time that Abu Ghraib survivors are able to bring their claims of torture to a U.S. jury, said Baher Azmy, a lawyer with the Center for Constitutional Rights representing the plaintiffs.
Ok, well sometimes things might make sense when spoken and you are able to add inflection and pauses. They don’t always come across in the written form. I found it confusing and I still do. I guess I’m sorry for finding it confusing?
If you were confused that’s one thing but you had to open this up with that condescending asking me if I’m all right. Which is really weird because, when it comes down to it, this all boils down to your piss-poor reading skills.
Don’t go through life being condescending over your inability to use first grade context clues.
Maybe ease off there making fun of someone’s reading comprehension skills when you fucked up basic comma usage.
It reads like some one stroking out without the comma or like a word or the subject of the sentence was forgotten.
You and you alone are confused. Anyways… is there something else I can help you with my man?
Well I think broadly you make a good point about Abu Gharaib, and I appreciate you making it.
It ended up being “just one of those things that happened” with no real consequences to those who set the situation up to occur and no accountability. It really sucks, but its just one more even in a long list of events that shouldn’t have happened, that shouldn’t have been possible to have happened. Like what was the fucking point?
