Justice Served: Abu Ghraib Torturer Gets 6 Months, Cocaine Dealer Gets 4 Years
Jail sentencing laws in the U.S. are always completely reasonable.
Sgt. Michael J. Smith, 24, tortured detainees at Abu Ghraib prison with his dog, a Belgian Shepard. (He is pictured in this famous photo.) Smith received six months jail time.
The very same day, Demetrius Frank Martinez from Washington state was convicted of selling cocaine five times to an undercover agent. Martinez received four years jail time.
“Justice — and God’s will — have been done,” stated one expert on the Fox News Channel. “My only regret is that the Mexican got off so easy. Save for keepin’ Mexicans off our shores, drugs are the biggest problem in the U.S. What Martinez did is unthinkable.”
Added the Fox News expert: “Ein Volk; Ein Reich; Ein Führer; Ein News Channel!”
So far, no senior military or Bush Administration officials have been punished for torture committed by U.S. forces.
Punished? Why would anyone be punished? I honestly don’t think enough people have been rewarded yet. You can check out my website for more information on the fun and pretty medals anyone can win! All you have to do is make “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” Good luck all, I’m accepting applications starting next week!
