HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN: Higher Ups stop the humane action of some US soldiers

HUMAN first, then a proud IRANIAN

This blog represents the way I see some of the most significant events impacting the world and its citizens. This blog also represents how I react to the events as a member of humanity with a voice, a determined voice that insists to be heard. The voice of an Iranian who loves his country but his priority is humanity; humanity without border. I will say what I want to say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, but I will never lie. I will also listen; I promise.

Higher Ups stop the humane action of some US soldiers

Oregon Army National Guardsmen responded to reports of what appeared to be prisoner abuse June 29 at the Iraqi Ministry of the Interior. The Guard soldiers disarmed the Iraqi policemen and gave first aid to the detainees. The Oregon guardsmen were later ordered to stand down, handing the prisoners back over to the Iraqi officials. Many of the prisoners had fresh welts and bruises. Soldiers also found metal rods, rubber hoses, unknown chemicals and exposed electrical wires that appeared to have been used to torture the prisoners.....

...and yet, they were ordered to return the detainees back to their torturers. Yeah, Rumsfeld and his fellow criminals don't want to see some good US soldiers act humanely. Who the hell these soldiers are to act against the principals and traditions of the US army? They should act according to orders; creating new Abu-Ghraib prisoner abuses/torture. Why not? US is the biggest exporter of the torture devices in the world.
