Steve,

You are not the first to take issue with Saba and won't be the last, I'm
sure. I have been on both sides of her rants and hopefully that indicates
balance.

Unless you are trying to look foolish, it might be best to just ignore or
delete things you don't like. Asking someone else to do something you are
not doing is hypocritical.

This may or may not be true, but the idea that any human being knows what
another human being is thinking at any one time is illogical and not based
on reality. This is why I prefer first-person accounts of historical events
such as the moon landings or WWII. Even well-researched accounts by third
parties are subject to far-fetched guesses by the researchers as to the
motivation and thoughts of the participants. Even two participants of the
same event can have vastly different observations.

Labels are easy to apply but almost never accurate; they stop thinking dead
and I object to that.

1. Learn to spell or at least use the spell check capabiltiy of your e-mail
application.
2. Learn to write coherently. This stream of conscious writing is annoying
3. Provide some refrences to whatever obscure point you are trying to make:

Trying to pull together some sort of sense from your comments below I can
only gather that you are:

A gun toting,militaristic, homophobic, racist who...actually other than that
I can't make sense of what ever your saying.

Well remember the USS Arizona, the USS Liberty, and the USS Cole.

Think these men are in a service now of which they may be proud; it took
Clinton eight years to completely demoralize the troops, homosxuals
though now can go to war and be killed along with the best of them - and
oh yes,  Courts used to send kinds to the serviice it was there or
jail

So Elvis Presley went into the service and when a kid he drove a truck;
the servie put him back to where he was most qualified, he drove a
truck.

He did, however try to set a good example.

To see a Navy Captain, the one in charge of the submarine break down and
cry about sinking Japanese sub ws a disgraceso now Colin Powell
wants to declare wawr on AIDS when it should be against the Unitaed
Nationsthe model citizen of Jamacian parents, of asian, black, and
white blood.to whom does he really owe his allegiance?

Where are the Commando Kellys, the Audie Murphys, the Colin Kellys, the
fighting Sullivns - now these were real men and my brother in law was a
real man but also a great brain in over and above the top of
intelligence who was friends to some of the greatest people in the
history of this country.

So where are they now?   Well look at the Sodomist Clinton, the former
Commander in Chief of the Military - the baby murderer - and you see
what this country is today.

A man was on TV today that explained what Bush wants for this country
Israel already has, India wants, and the Russians in process of doing
now.

And we are told to disarm?   Take away their guns first of all citizens
and infest the militiary with homosexuals...isn't tht sweet and now
the homos want out.

Well if they go to war, let them go out and get shot at and see the
yellow streaks all the wawy to the guard house.

Further Barbara Douglas of McDonnell Douglas married Hap Arnold's
son.so if the Douglas family and the Arnold family seem to be in
cahoots this is why for they are family now.

Hap Arnold was a great American Hero...so was General Nathan Twining
and General Hoyt Vandenberg for whom my brother in law worked .he
job ws to set up missile bases over the world to defend the free world
from these bastard Communist countries who murdered of 55 million
CLhristians?

The Navy has been looking pretty skanky for a long time, and they keep telling us 
they're cleaning up their act.  It appears they have added lying to their list of 
sins.  It wasn't always this way.  There was a time when the Navy was a respectable 
service that men were proud to have served in.  Tailhook was a shock; the Boy Scouts 
filming them throwing green plastic bags full of trash over the side of the ship 
didn't make a very good impression; their unrepentant killing of ocean life with their 
sonar experiments was ugly; and their use of Depleted Uranium on Vieques and 
surrounding ocean was ill advised at best; but now they have given the world a really 
good view of their character by their actions as outlined in this Herbert column.  
What a bunch of bums they are.  No wonder they have trouble keeping personnel.  When I 
think carefully about this; however, I recall that persons with Spanish surnames and 
who served in the Navy were always given positions as servants.  The Navy didn't think 
they were abusing the civil rights of Americans; they thought they were disciplining 
some inferior folks who just didn't know their place.  Prudy

Treated Like Trash

IN AMERICA
By BOB HERBERT



elda González may be 68 years old, the vice president of the Senate
in Puerto Rico and a grandmother several times over. But none of
that mattered to U.S. Navy officials who treated her like trash,
which is the same way they've treated so many others who have been
arrested for protesting the Navy's bombing exercises on the island
of Vieques.

 Ms. González was with a large group of protesters, including a
U.S. congressman, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, who were arrested on
Vieques in April and subjected to harsh, dangerous and at times
sadistic treatment at the hands of Navy personnel. Details of the
arrests made that weekend have been emerging through interviews and
a hearing held in Washington last week by members of the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

 Ms. González and dozens of others were rounded up by security
personnel on the afternoon of April 28 and charged with trespassing
on Navy property. "As soon as they caught us," said Ms. González in
a telephone interview on Tuesday, "we offered our hands and they
handcuffed us."

 The detainees were taken by truck to a fenced-in detention area.
Several, still handcuffed, were forced to kneel for extended
periods on the gravel and rock-strewn ground. They were taunted and
told by their captors to "eat dirt."

 One of those kneeling was Congressman Gutierrez. The military
guards became enraged when he lifted one of his legs and extended
it behind him while he tried awkwardly to clear some debris from
the spot where he was kneeling.

 The congressman and several witnesses, including Ms. González,
said two of the guards grabbed Mr. Gutierrez by his shirt and
trousers, lifted him in the air and tossed him several feet. When
he landed face down they began kicking him.

 "I was yelling, 'He's a congressman! He's a congressman!' " said
Ms. González.

 After being held overnight in the detention area, the detainees
were taken by barge to the main island of Puerto Rico. Some of the
prisoners were forced to kneel in the hot sun on the deck of the
barge. Young women kneeling on the deck were harassed by officers
who made obscene comments and gestures.

 Ms. González said the prisoners were worried because they were
still handcuffed and were not wearing life jackets. She said they
were told that prisoners given life jackets would be required to
have their hands cuffed behind their backs.

 "That would force us to lean forward if we were in the water, even
with a life jacket," said Ms. González. "We would drown if there
was an accident. So we preferred to stay with our hands cuffed in
the front."

 The ordeal that caused Ms. González to weep was still to come.


The prisoners were subjected to body searches at a processing
center. For some reason, when it was Ms. González's turn to be
searched, she was taken outside, and the search was conducted in
public. "They made the most indecent, disgusting, immoral search of
me, out in the street, in front of a cyclone fence with 20 Navy men
watching," she said.

 It was more an exercise in humiliation than a real search. It was
conducted by a woman who began by lifting Ms. González's blouse.
The rest of the search consisted of the very public rubbing,
squeezing and ma
