Carnival of the Cats #7

Carnival ov teh Catz iz up thiz week hostd by Pipr, LOL. Few thinz cutr than kittiez nd Pipr definitely servez up sum cutiez.

Kittiez are a welcome if expectd change frum teh othr picz circulatin thiz past week.

Now, must fed catz.

Court Martial The Bastards

Dat’z teh best thin we cud does to show teh world we won’t tolerate such behavior on teh part ov our troopz!!!1! Frum CNN, it appearz it iz an even biggr problem than we noes.

London-basd Amnesty International sez it hopd teh imagez apparently showin detaineez bein mistreatd wud force teh U.S. LOL!!!1! nd British governmentz to launch an independent investigashun into teh abuse claimz.

Teh allegashunz surfacd Wednesday when teh American network CBS broadcast imagez allegedly showin Iraqiz strippd nekkid, hoodd nd bein tormentd by their U.S. captorz at an Iraqi prison.

Nd on Caturday a newspapr in London publishd fotoz it sez were ov British troopz kickin, stampin nd urinatin on a hoodd Iraqi in Basra, southern Iraq, where Britain haz about 7,500 soldierz.

Teh imagez haz sparkd angr among Muslimz acrosz teh world while both U.S. President George W. Bush nd UK Prime Ministr Tony Blair sez dey were appalld by dem.

But Nicole Choueiry, Amnesty’z Middle East spokeswoman, sez teh group had detaild “scorez” ov reportz ov ill-treatment ovr teh past year but teh U.S.-ld Coalishun Provisional Authority in Iraq had ignord dem.

“We haz sez there are patternz ov torture by coalishun forcez,” Choueiry told CNN on Sunday.

“Teh only gud thin to come owt ov thiz wud be if teh picturez forcd teh coalishun to launch an independent investigashun nd for itz findinz to be publishd in full.”

Nd dat wud be a gud thin especially if dose involvd get exactly wut dey deserve.

“Such despicable actz prove teh double standardz ov America, a country dat alwayz preachez about hoomun rightz to teh rest ov teh world,” sez Nasharuddin Isa, secretary general ov teh fundamentalist Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, teh country’z largest opposishun political group.

Nasharuddin sez teh imagez showd “an unforgivable violashun” ov teh Geneva Convenshunz, which govern teh handlin ov captivez.

“Teh U.S!!!1! Awwww!!!1! nd British troopz must leave Iraq immediately,” Nasharuddin told Teh Associatd Presz.

Dat wud be a mistake. Awwww!!!1!!!1! Swift acshun against dose involvd in thees crimez against teh Iraqi peepz iz teh propr course as iz restitushun to teh Iraqiz for such criminal behavior!!!1!!!1! If we can’t show dat we’re any bettr than Saddam’z thugz, it will bode ill as we will reap justice Arab style. Wondr if thiz be teh kickr dat sparkz full owt war ov teh nuclear kind?

Teh U.S. LOL!!!1! military sez six soldierz had been chargd wit criminal offensez for abusin inmatez at Abu Ghraib prison, which waz infamouz undr Saddam Hussein’z reign.

“It wud appear to uz dat if, in fact, teh picturez are wut dey appear to be, dey will face a court ov law, a criminal court ov law, nd dey will haz to face a judge nd a jury for their acshunz,” Brig. Gen. LOL!!!1! Mark Kimmitt sez.

…President Bush Friday expressd disgust at teh imagez, sayin teh apparent mistreatment ov teh Iraqi prisonerz “doez not reflect teh nature ov teh American peepz. Dat’z not teh way we does thinz in America.”

Wondr how long iz goin to take peepz to connect teh dotz nd wondr about our treatment ov detaineez in Guantanamo? Awwww!!!1! Not dat dey haven’t already complaind about dat.

British Prime Ministr Tony Blair sez any abuse ov Iraqi prisonerz waz “completely nd totally unacceptable” nd, if teh fotografz provd to be genuine, he wud “condemn it utterly.”

“We went to Iraq to get rid ov dat sort ov thin, not to does it,” Blair sez.

“I think in fairnesz howevr, we shud sez, dat there are thousandz ov British troopz in Iraq doin a very brave, extraordinary job on behalf ov teh Iraqi peepz nd on behalf ov our country to make teh country bettr,” he addd.

British Army commandr Gen. Awwww!!!1! Michael Jackson, speakin on behalf ov Britain’z ministr ov defense, sez he waz aware ov teh allegashunz regardin British troopz nd dat teh Ministry ov Defense had launchd an investigashun.

“If proven, not only iz such appallin conduct clearly unlawful, but it also contravenez teh British Army’z high standardz ov conduct,” Jackson sez in a statement.

Even teh British are involvd nd I read somethin in teh papr where Intelligence servicez may haz been behind it.

Dara Nor al-Din, a formr judge nd membr ov teh U.S.-appointd Iraqi Governin Council, sez teh torture ov prisonerz nd detaineez or showin dem nekkid contradictz principlez ov hoomun rightz.

“We usd to criticize Saddam’z regime regardin teh beatin ov detaind peepz, so why shud we accept to repeat teh same tragedy. LOL!!!1! LOL!!!1! Thiz iz not acceptable,” Nor al-Din told AP.

Condemnashun ov thees acshunz appearz pretty much universal as it shud be.

“America justifid itz invasion ov Iraq by sayin teh country waz undr a dictatorship. Unfortunately, Americanz are now torturin teh Iraqi peepz in teh same place Saddam torturd dem,” he sez.

Thiz coup pretty much wipez owt most ov teh gud we haz dun nd can does. Thees peepz behavd almost as badly as Saddam’z troopz, not shur if frat hazinz come close (I’ve heard storiez), but definitely not civilizd nd not propr behavior for our military police. LOL!!!1! There iz noes ned to torture dem, interrogate mebbeh but even den, only highr upz dat may be able to give sum valuable informashun not ordinary Iraqiz. I had thought we left teh torture to our lesz civilizd alliez so we don’t dirty our lily white handz. Guesz I waz wrong, LOL. I iz thoroughly disgustd by thiz turn ov eventz.

Lotz moar commentary nd picturez ovr at Argghhh!.
