JacksonDogs have been such a hideous instrument of state terror that their use on Iraqi prisoners is cause alone for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign. Nazis used dogs for everything from intimidation to eating people alive. Bull Connor's dogs in Birmingham were an icon of the 1960s. South African police used dogs to enforce apartheid. In 2002 Rumsfeld approved the use of dogs to inspire fear in detainees at Guantanamo Bay. The government claims that dogs were not used at Guantanamo. But they became a prime tool of cruelty at Abu Ghraib in Iraq, clearly violating the Geneva Convention on prisoners of war. The Washington Post reported last week that it had obtained sworn statements of dog handlers who said they used dogs to instill fear in prisoners under orders approved by the highest-ranking intelligence officer in the prison, Colonel Thomas Pappas. Pappas obviously had the green light from Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the military commander in Iraq. According to the Post, Sanchez authorized intense interrogation tactics, including the use of dogs. Dog handlers cornered prisoners with snarling dogs to scare them into urinating on themselves. Naked prisoners and prisoners with bags over their heads were forced within inches of barking dogs. US soldiers threatened to set the dogs loose on detainees. One detainee suffered 12 stitches from dog bites. One of the most galling photos from Abu Ghraib showed a smiling US soldier holding a prisoner by a leash. If you leash people as dogs, it is easy to unleash dogs on them. This week the former commander of the military police at Abu Ghraib, Janis Karpinski, told the BBC that Major General Geoffrey Miller, then the commander at Guantanamo Bay, told her last fall: "They are like dogs, and if you allow them to believe at any point that they're more than a dog, then you've lost control of them." Miller, who has since replaced Karpinski, denies saying that. Clearly the government did not care that many Muslims view dogs as unclean or how man's best friend is also equated with hate. The Nazis put up signs saying "No Jews or dogs allowed." In the Deep South of the 1950s there were signs that said, "No niggers, no Jews, no dogs." In the search for the bodies of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered in 1964, many other black bodies were fished out of local rivers. One resident said in "We Are Not Afraid," a 1988 book on the killings: "Why, we've been throwing everything in here for years. Radiators, tires, chains, dogs, cats, and niggers to feed the fishes." Muhammad Ali refused to go to Vietnam, saying, "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs . . . when so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs?" Senator Robert Byrd of Virginia, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, wrote in 1945, "Rather I should die a thousand times and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." White supremacists today call Jews "mongrel dogs." Israeli police use attack dogs on Palestinians as Palestinians scream Jews are dogs. The barking, biting, and killing does not stop. One member of the Bush White House who knows exactly how dogs can sear the conscience but who has not raised his voice is Secretary of State Colin Powell. He cites Bull Connor's dogs not once, but twice, in his memoir "My American Journey." The first reference was in 1964 when white officer classmates told him that the only thing white people wanted was "property rights." Powell told them that "property rights" meant segregation. "Sheriff Bull Connor had set police dogs against people," Powell wrote. "Murderers had blown up four children in a Birmingham church. And these people were arguing about `property rights!' " The second reference was over the 1992 riots triggered by the not-guilty verdict in the videotaped police beating of Rodney King. Powell wrote: "It was nearly 35 years since President Eisenhower had sent troops into Little Rock to quell school violence over school integration; 29 years since Bull Connor had turned the dogs and hoses on blacks. . . . And the whole ugly spectacle was being reenacted again, after we had come so far." Powell said the spectacle made him "sick at heart." The ugliness at Abu Ghraib, where people were dehumanized as dogs and then had what was left of their dignity destroyed by dogs, is so evil that Rumsfeld must be removed to show the world that we Americans are sick at heart. Rumsfeld promised to rid Iraq of a Hitler. He gave them a prison that would have made the Nazis proud. ------------------------ Yahoo!
