Torture
The
Logical Outcome of Bush's War for Democracy?
By
SAUL LANDAU
Most US citizens don't reflect on the
reasons for anti-American sentiment throughout much of the world.
But policy makers once focused precisely on this theme. In 1947,
George Kennan, who headed policy planning for the State Department,
assumed this antipathy when he wrote: "We have about 60%
of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. In this
situation we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment.
Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of
relationships which will permit us to maintain this position
of disparity. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford
today the luxury of altruism and world benefaction. We should
cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives such as human
rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization.
The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight
power concept. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans,
the better."
In protecting and expanding
US privilege through power, US Presidents used more than idealistic
slogans; moralistic rhetoric emanated from the White House. Simultaneously,
the presidential promoters of democracy, freedom, self-determination
and peace, since World War II, have consistently altered the
destiny of third world peoples who did not obey Washington. Until
1989, "fighting communism" justified armed intervention
in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, The Dominican Republic, Laos, Cambodia,
Grenada and Panama (just some examples). As the United States
emerged as a world empire its leaders categorically denied all
imperial intentions. Indeed, President George W. Bush follows
a parade of presidential disavowers of empire in repeatedly assuring
the world of inherent US goodness; evil is externally located.
So, when he announced that
US troops would invade Iraq, he pledged not only to rid the world
of the evil Saddam Hussein and his fabled weapons of mass destruction
and Al-Qaeda links, but also to make Iraqis recipients of democracy
and freedom.
Evidence about WMDs and terrorist
links didn't overwhelm the President, but he knew his brain trust
would find compelling arguments elsewhere. Led by sneering Vice
President Dick Cheney and smug Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
and surrounded with Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz,
former Defense Policy Board
Chair Richard Perle and Cheney's Chief of Staff Scooter Libby,
this so-called neo con (neo-conservatives, or those who could
con others in a new way) clan pushed Bush to war against Iraq
(evil).
On March 19, 2003 Bush made
war. On May 1, he declared victory. Then, the Iraqi resistance
to occupation surfaced and casualties increased. Bush snarled:
"bring 'em on," (meaning "send 'em in") and
blamed the "insurgency" on foreign zealots. In April
2004, US casualties numbered 129 dead and thousands wounded.
The Pentagon quietly admitted that the core of the insurgency
was Iraqi, not foreign.
Reporters discovered that Iraqi
exiles on Pentagon payroll had supplied the nonsense that Bush
then propounded to Congress as solid evidence that Saddam had
WMDs. Ahmed Chalabi, "our man in Baghdad" (while living
in Washington), was the source of false intelligence before the
war. Bush then appointed him to the governing council in Iraq
where he possessed neither a constituency nor qualifications.
Indeed, Jordan wants him extradited for embezzling some $200
million.
Because the causes seemed so
flaky, the move to war divided Americans. Before it started millions
demonstrated their opposition in the streets. The rifts have
grown deeper. In April, Spanish voters defeated the pro war party
of President Jose Maria Aznar. On May 3, incoming Prime Minister
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero voiced the opinion of Spain's majority.
"The mission in Iraq,
which is showing itself every day to be a failure, should serve
as a lesson to the international community: preemptive wars,
never again; violations of international law, never again."
The real and most efficient fight against terrorism is through
the cooperation of all democratic countries, all free countries,
in the United Nations with the cooperation of all and not via
unilateral interventions, which only lead to failure."
Zapatero's words appeared on
newspaper pages alongside photographs showing US troops torturing
Iraqi men and women. On May 5, wire services reported that 25
prisoners had died in in US-controlled prisons in Afghanistan
and Iran. On that day, Bush lectured an Arab TV interviewer.
He did not apologize for the abuses. He abhorred the systemic
torture by US troops in Iraq, but called it an "isolated
incident;" acts committed by "a few people" who
"don't represent the America I know."
Rumsfeld dismissed the dirty
deeds as "un-American." Yet, US troops had repeatedly
done far worse in Vietnam and Korea. Indeed, wars produce atrocities
as day follows night and the United States has initiated more
wars since 1950 than any nation in the world.
Apologies hardly suffice! But
contrast Bush's petulant moralistic pose to the language of the
investigation by the 800th Military Police Brigade. According
to Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, "US Army Soldiers have committed
egregious acts and grave breaches of international law at Abu
Ghraib/BCCF and Camp Bucca, Iraq." He said that "key
senior leaders" had "failed to comply with established
regulations, policies, and command directives in preventing detainee
abuses at Abu Ghraib (BCCF) and at Camp Bucca during the period
August 2003 to February 2004."
Ion other words, those ordered
to win Iraqi hearts and minds committed "sadistic, blatant
and wanton criminal abuses."
Taguba mentioned "the
following acts:"
"-- Punching, slapping,
and kicking detainees; jumping on their naked feet;
-- Videotaping and photographing
naked male and female detainees;
-- Forcibly arranging detainees
in various sexually explicit positions for photographing;
-- Forcing detainees to remove
their clothing and keeping them naked for several days at a time;
-- Forcing groups of male detainees
to masturbate themselves while being photographed and videotaped;
-- Arranging naked male detainees
in a pile and then jumping on them;
-- Positioning a naked detainee
on a MRE Box, with a sandbag on his head, and attaching wires
to his fingers, toes, and penis to simulate electric torture;
-- Writing "I am a Rapest"
(sic) on the leg of a detainee alleged to have forcibly raped
a 15-year old fellow detainee, and then photographing him naked;
-- Placing a dog chain or strap
around a naked detainee's neck and having a female Soldier pose
for a picture;
-- A male MP guard having sex
with a female detainee;
-- Using military working dogs
(without muzzles) to intimidate and frighten detainees, and in
at least one case biting and severely injuring a detainee."
Taguba blames those in command.
MP's and the contract workers (mercenaries), he says, had received
encouragement from their superiors to soften up prisoners before
interrogation.
But the sadistic pornography
trail of Abu Ghraib leads back to the White House. Iraq is George
Bush's war. If Saddam constituted evil, how to explain the stench
of sin that now arises from Bush's legions of "good"?
Indeed, months before Seymour Hersh's May 3 New Yorker story
revealed the scandal, Army criminal investigators had interviewed
50 plus military, contract and Iraqi detainee witnesses. The
Abu Ghraib horror photos and videos circulated in national security
sectors months before this became public. Did Rumsfeld keep this
from the President or did Bush know and do nothing?
Adults shoulder responsibility.
Bush passed the buck. Military heads rolls; more will follow.
But the torture issue goes beyond acts committed by frightened,
frustrated, angry and sadistic US troops - encouraged by their
superiors. Like the massacre of My Lai and others in Vietnam,
abuses at Iraqi prisons follow from war itself - especially a
war based on false premises.
In the second week of May,
the US body count neared 800; the wounded near 10,000. The mission
of transforming Iraq to our political model fades as the repulsive
torture photos travel through the Muslim world. Instead of victory
in Iraq we turn backwards to past foolish wars.
In 1968, the Vietnamese launched
their Tet Offensive proving wrong the US military estimate of
their feeble status. Vermont Senator George Aiken advised the
disconsolate President Lyndon Johnson to "just declare victory
and come home."
Six plus years later, tens
of thousands of dead US soldiers and millions of Vietnamese,
the United States cut and ran. In 1975, Congress cut off funds
for the war. US officials in Saigon frantically burned documents
and money. US Embassy guards thrust bayonets at desperate Vietnamese
trying to escape the new Vietnamese government.
History threatens to repeat
itself in Iraq. Having again launched an unjustified imperial
war under the axiom of disavowing empire, the chief imperialist
himself goes into denial. "Freedom, liberty, democracy,"
chanted Bush in his rare and incoherent press conference in April.
Bush the triumphant of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln
last May has turned defensive, seeking to place blame on others
for his own foolish and bloody deeds. John Kerry has the moral
and political duty to now call unequivocally for the rapid withdrawal
of US forces from Iraq. Such a move would overwhelm Bush, the
"decisive" coward, who thinks "honoring the fallen"
means having more fall. He is unfit to hold office.
Saul Landau directs the Digital Media Arts program
at Cal Poly Pomona University. His new book, The
Business of America, will be published in May.
