Why hasn't she been censured?/Cpl. Hassoun death claimed

Oh My Lord, No! Say it isn't so! It was the Jooooos! Those Evil Jooooos are responsible for the dark sadism of Abu AssGrab! Someone fetch me a whiskey, I feel faint.

Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who was suspended in May over allegations of prisoner abuse, said she met a man who told her he was Israeli during a visit to a Baghdad intelligence center with a senior coalition general.

If I had a quarter for every man who offered me a cocktail and then confided his involvment in some sort of covert group, intelligence agency, or special military unit, I'd be able to pay off my mortgage. But that's ancient history which was, at the time, quite humorous.

"I saw an individual there that I hadn't had the opportunity to meet before, and I asked him what did he do there, was he an interpreter - he was clearly from the Middle East," Karpinski told British Broadcasting Corp. radio in an interview broadcast Saturday. "He said, 'Well I do some of the interrogation here. I speak Arabic but I'm not an Arab; I'm from Israel.'

Oh, such subterfuge. Why, Traitorous Wench Who Hurt Our Military General Karpinski, didn't you do something about it right there and then? Why didn't you do your job and look into this? No, instead you left the inmates in charge of the asylum and turned a blind eye.

Traitorous Wench Who Hurt Our Military General Karpinski, you damaged this country by your inaction. You provided the mud and crap that the Anti-War crowd now uses against our efforts in a time of war, not just against the military in general but against the men and women who are there doing their jobs.

Doing their jobs? Yes, exactly, which is much more than any can say about your performance in the breach.

One would think that at this point you would have the decency to accept responsibility for your own actions and inactions, and slink off with the proscribed levels of shame and dishonor to some quiet place where woefully inadequate examples of the Peter Principle go when finally exposed by their own hand.

By further feeble attempts at career-saving (something which is both futile and pathetic to watch) you endanger those troops still there, doing what they were trained to do, and doing it honorably. You spit on every flag draped coffin that passes through Dover AFB, and into the faces of the mothers of these fallen.

It is time you looked into your mirror and saw your real enemy, and quit looking for them under yamukes or behind civilian ID badges.

Update: Traitorous Wench Who Hurt Our MilitaryGeneral Karpinski, I know, as a rational and intelligent human being, that while you did not murder this young man, you set in motion a series of events that, while not a direct cause, certainly did give the murderers an excuse that the bomb-throwing left around the globe most certainly could embrace and openly does.

I pray the reports are wrong, that this is not true. But given the track record of these perversions in the past, I have very little doubt but that they are stating a fact, that Cpl. Hassoun is dead at their hands.

You have the blood of Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun on your hands. You bear much of the responsibility for embolding those who are directly responsible. You may as well have taken him off-post and handed him over.

Nothing you can do will bring comfort to his mother, a woman who has been in mourning for days because she knew. Mothers know.

Nothing you can do can bring any resolution to this situation. Your impotence disgusts us all, those who have served, those who sacrificed as their parents and spouses served, those who's children now serve.

Just crawl away. We have a hero to mourn. A new hero among many who sacrificed themselves without wondering about the political expediency of their actions, or the publicity and sympathy they could garner by pitching mud on their fellows in uniform.

Just crawl away, please.

And for all of you blood-suckers and buzzards, circling the home of the family of Cpl. Hassoun, making claims and accusations backed by nothing more than a poorly written NYT item that was corrected days ago, back off and let these people mourn.
