Shake and Bake

Well, i meant to post this about 4 days ago, but somehow forgot to actually publish it.  here it is a few days late but no less outraged.

"White phosphorous is a colorless-to-yellow translucent wax-like substance with a pungent, garlic-like smell. The form used by the military ignites once it is exposed to oxygen, producing such heat that it bursts into a yellow flame and produces a dense white smoke. It can cause painful burn injuries to exposed human flesh."

And that's what we used in Fallujah.  We didn't shoot it in the air to illuminate the area.  We shot it at people.  Now, the Pentagon wants to say that they followed the letter of the law and only used it on "insurgents" and not civilians.  Let's say that's true.  Let's say they somehow knew exactly who was in that town at that time, that they knew 100% that every single one of the civilians of that town had actually left.  They used a chemical that causes human flesh to burn down to the bone.  On people.  Tell me again how we're better, how we have higher moral standards, how valiant and shiny we are, bringing freedom to the oppressed.  Go ahead.  Tell me.  Cause when you're done with that, you can go and read this about what the CIA has been doing with its prisoners to get around that pesky Geneva Convention thing.
