Manadel al-Jamadi, RIP.

Jesus sickening Christ. Human beings don't get much more debased than this before they stop being human at all. Warning: horrifying photographs featuring marines smiling and giving the thumbs-up as they pose with the body of a man beaten to death by civilian "interrogators".

According to testimony from Spc. Jason Kenner, obtained by ABCNEWS, the man was brought to the prison by U.S. Navy SEALs in good health. Kenner said he saw extensive bruising on the detainee's body when he was brought out of the showers, dead.

Kenner says the body was packed in ice during a "battle" between CIA and military interrogators over who should dispose of the body.

And as for "RIP", well, that's just a thing you say because you have to say something. Dead is dead, and there is no such thing as a God or an afterlife. Mr al-Jamadi is gone; it is to his family and friends that my heart goes out. May they find some kind of peace.

What happened to al-Jamadi and others at Abu Ghraib is an
absolute outrage. Nobody deserves such treatment. We must remember that only a small fraction of the U.S. military was involved in this heinous crime, and it should not tarnish the vast number of innocent servicemen and servicewomen in the U.S. armed forces who do an outstanding job. A final note: Just because people can (and sometimes do) act like animals, does not prove that there is no God or afterlife. There is more than enough evidence to support the fact that the Lord Almighty does indeed exist, and that people are accountable to God for their sinfulness. Man loves to pretend there is no God or accountability for his sins, but this is just closing a blind eye to reality. Hence he fabricates such notions as atheistic evolution, UFO's, aliens, etc.
Darwin, Neitche, Hitler, Nero, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Buddha, Voltaire - all have bowed the knee to our Creator,
the Lord of Heaven. And that day of personal accountability will soon be here for you and I too.

What we must remember is that this was not a few "rotten apples", this was US policy. This was intentional, and the intent tracks all the way back to the maggot infesting the white house by way of his chickenhawk handlers like Rumsfeld and his legal performing seal Gonzales.

Bollocks. There is no empirical evidence for or against the existence of any god or gods. That's what faith is for (but see also null hypothesis, the; aren't meteorologists scientists?).
