There is four videos up that happened in Iraq.

The first one is quite tame, involving people being forced to jump off roofs to stick beatings.

The other three though, well, I coudln't really watch it halfway through. A fellow is blindfolded and gets his head cut off. Other people are blindfolded and get their hands or legs cut off by a sword. There is also people being tied up, then shot at or thrown a grenade at.

I may not be a fan of Bush, but I would like to know why the left sees plastic bags and barking dogs as most inhuman torture, and wish to pull out of a country that had these types of actions happen to it's citizens daily before the dictator was removed.

Two things:
1) I've got a feeling that is against the rules.

2) What are you posting it for? We know that Saddam is not a nice guy...why do you think this would change anything?
And do you think people get treated any better in Uzbekistan, for that matter?

EDIT: I didn't watch the vids by the way, because firstly, I don't trust the internet, and secondly, because I'm man enough to know when I don't need to see something.

It's not a matter issued in degrees. there may be torture that's more deplorable than other kinds, but the problem was that ANY torture was involved whatsoever. It's hard to claim you're the good guy when you get caught using bad guy tactics.

Because my dear fellow, Western democracies don't hold oursleves on a scale of morality and justice using people like Saddam Hussein as a marker.

We are supposed to be better then that.

I thought oyu meant videos of Saddam being tortured, because I would say they have to be fake. There's no way we'd allow cameras in his prison when we're torturing him.

Are you sure the beheadings aren't from Zarqawi? I didn't watch them...I don't like having nightmares...

As a rule of thumb, if it's not safe for work it shouldn't be posted here. Videos of people being tortured and executed are definitely not suitable.
