2. If you are really that concerned then I would suggest that you take a more active interest as to what kind of shit the local police in places like SF and Oakland pull on 16 year old and younger inner city kids in the name of protecting the public. On your tax dollars. The type of ritualized abuse of rights that every major metropolitan police force engages in concerns far more than what happens in an war zone.

[ASIDE]Since you seem to be troubled by what happens in Oakland, maybe we should have devoted more federal resources to fixing what's wrong there instead of embarking on an expensive frolic to make Iraq into a different kind of pit. Or maybe your idea of doing something about this "type of ritualized abuse of rights" that troubles you so is to post the latest pictures of Hillary and Kerry? What, exactly, is any Republican that you can think of willing to do to make Oakland a better place for children? Arnold is the flavor of the minute, and he's not exactly helping.
You don't really need to respond to those questions if -- as I suspect -- you are invoking San Francisco and Oakland simply to change the subject.[/ASIDE]
What they did to this kid they did to get to his
father. They were trying to get the father to talk, so they abused his children. That's barbaric. That shit doesn't happen in San Francisco, it doesn't happen in Oakland, and we shouldn't be doing it in Iraq.
