[+/-] Unpatriotic terrorist slimeballs

The Bush administration is filled with unpatriotic terrorist slimeballs. Why else would they be squarely against their own war heroes and the Geneva Convention?

American pilots who were beaten and abused by Iraqis during the 1991 Persian Gulf War have found a new enemy: the Bush administration is fighting the former prisoners of war in court, trying to prevent them from collecting nearly $1 billion from Iraq that a federal judge awarded them as compensation for their torture at the hands of Saddam Hussein's regime.

Many of the pilots were tortured in the same Iraqi prison, Abu Ghraib, where American soldiers abused Iraqis 15 months ago. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said that those Iraqi victims deserve compensation from the United States.

But the American victims of Iraqi torturers are not entitled to similar payments from Iraq, BushCo says. The rationale? Today's Iraqis are good guys, and they need the money.
