How to Create Terrorists

From Jimmy Carter's new book (via Rebellious Peasant):

A report from Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, formerly in charge of Abu Ghraib, described a visit to an eleven year old detainee in the cell block that housed high risk prisoners. The general recalled that the child was weeping, and "he told me he was almost twelve," and that "he really wanted to see his mother, could he please call his mother." Children like this eleven year old have been denied the right to see their parents, a lawyer, or anyone else, and were not told why they were detained. A Pentagon spokesman told Mr. Hersh that "age is not a determining factor in detention."

Unbelievable. Outrageous. My blood is boiling. Put yourself into that child's parents shoes and then tell me how this is helping America's "War on Terror".
