Odd, Here it shows a study that 10% of the male population in Australian prisons suffer from rape, many on a daily basis.
wow
I guess that is quite an indication of the way "Democracy" and "human rights" factor into Australia.
Actually it doesn't, and neither does it here.
and no one has said that neither
Taking a single incident,
it's not a "common" prisonner, this guy is famous worldwide, every newspaper is talking about him. It's a very stupid idea to beat him
espicially one that while regrettable is hardly something unheard of in ANY civilized country in this world, and trying to make a claim with it is ignorant. Furthermore, doing it without proper historical scope is equally ignorant. IF this story is true, and so far there's no proof of it at all,
it's not as if it was a rumor from a conspiracy website, numerous newspapers talk about it

it is regrettable but is much better than the likely death sentence for him and his family under the previously regime. To me, the fact that didn't happen is signs of progress. If he was beaten, it is a sign that there's still progress that needs to be done (as there is everywhere, be it Iraq, the U.S., or Australia).
If I smash your face, you won't complain, because I could also have killed you???
However honestly the posts in this thread seems to be that people who always enjoy bashing America deciding to glom onto a story that has little to no credible evidence backing it just to get on the "America Sucks, the Iraq War is a failure!" bandwagon
I fail to see the "America Sucks, the Iraq War is a failure!" posts
