The Republican Culture of Life: First in a Series
Posted by Jill | 8:09 AM

I thought it might be interesting to post examples of how the policies of the Bush/Frist/DeLay Axis of Evil create a "culture of life", since they're so obsessed with the lives of a woman in Florida.

Today's example of the Republican Culture of Life comes to us from our very own government, which has issued a report stating that:

At least 108 people have died in U.S. custody in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and at least 26 have been investigated as criminal homicides involving possible abuse.

The figure, far higher than any previously disclosed, includes cases investigated by the Army, Navy, CIA and Justice Department.

About 65,000 prisoners have been taken during the U.S.-led wars; most have been freed.

The Pentagon has never provided comprehensive information on how many prisoners taken during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have died.


Stay tuned for more Republican hypocrisy on "life." I just know there's more where this came from.
