NOW IT'S CAMP BUCCA---FURTHER STORY OF COMMAND FAILURES
From the CBS Network's "Latest" prison story, (link is to CBS). The "unbiased" network will dutifully air another hit piece on "60 Minutes Two". This is a tape made by a female guard at another camp called Camp Bucca. The girl complaining about the Camp basically backs up my post of May 9th which contained this:
A word here about battalions and brigades. There are between 3 and 5 thousand men in a brigade and between 5 and 900 men in a battalion. The ratio of men per prisoner according to army rules is: a BRIGADE per 4,000. The prison contained at least 7,000 prisoners and according to the army it would take more than 3,000 men to handle them properly. The actual number of men was a BATALLION of between 500 and 900 people to handle 7,000 prisoners. This is insane. This is a command problem. God only knows how far up it goes.Another Iraq prison under the same command had a section where two guards were assigned to guard 535 prisoners. None of us have to be experts to know this is impossible. We may find that General Karpinski complained like hell, but no evidence of this has surfaced. From CBS again,
Her videotape shows she didn't like Camp Bucca, or the people under her control: "These people get fed better than we do. Every day, they eat white rice, chicken. Every day we eat MREs. They are suck f****** a**holes. They f*** guys for pleasure and they f*** women for breeding. Excuse my language. I've been around a lot of people who cusses every day."There's a ton more at the first link and you better read it:
She says she threw rocks at the prisoners because they had been throwing them at her. In her video diary, she catalogs the other dangers in the camp: "This is a sand viper. One bite will kill you in six hours. We've already had two prisoners die of it, but who cares? That's two less for me to worry about."She details the Palm Sunday Riot at Bucca too. No more atrocities, but the same suspects in the command doing nothing. Note that the media ignores everything else to get Bush. This is Vietnam all over again. The press is attempting to create the news and then pound and pound and pound in order to affect the election.
