Get this on tape, man! Hey, tell -- say it again. Say again what happened.
Say what?
You know, like what was going on. What you - what was like being a guard there.
A guard at Abu Ghraib?
Yeah. The place, man! It's fucking world famous now.
I don't know what to say. Nothing special. It's better than being a fucking bullet sponge.
You know any of those guys who got busted, you know, for torturing those inmates?
Fuck man. You know, just cuz someone let the pictures get out.
Yeah, why'd they let that...?
No one expected -- I mean, compared to what we _were_ doing every day? Teasing a couple hajjis? Gimme a fucking break. You know, what's the big deal about making a haji walk around like a dog and bark?
(Laughter)
-- BREAK IN FOOTAGE --
... expected anyone... ehh... get all upset.
What else would you guys do?
Hmmm... what wouldn't we do?
(Laughter)
Where we'd take the plastic and wrap it around their heads until they started choking?
-- BREAK IN FOOTAGE --
You know, the CIA showed us a lot of shit, man. Crank generator... when we'd hook it up -- hooked it up to their nipples or their nuts--
Oooh! Ouch!
Where we'd shock the shit out of them.
The most -- what was the most fun things?
The most fun thing... um. Definitely the women.
Yeah? They had chick insurgents man?
No, they didn't have chick insurgents. Something goes down they just grab everyone around, you know, and fuck 'em.
Wow.
You know, I mean, you going to have 35 trials? No, you know? People are like, "Oh, they're innocent." And you know what, I don't give a _fuck_. As far as I'm concerned, they're all guilty. You know what? They should have kicked Saddam out themselves. Instead, we're there doing the fucking job. You know? We're losing guys. Were those people in the World Trade Center guilty? No. Fuck them --
They didn't fucking do anything.
They fucked us, now we're fucking them. Fuck them, dude. Anyone with a fucking rag on their head is fair game.
-- BREAK IN FOOTAGE --
Girl... she was probably like 15 years old.
Oh yeah?
Oh. Yeah. She was hot, dude. The body on that girl... really tight.
Make just -- they always wear like you can't see 'em, right cuz they're...
The girl hadn't been touched yet, she was fucking prime.
Oh.
[This guy] he started pimping out her out for 50 bucks a shot. I think at the end of the day, you know, he made like 500 bucks before she hung herself.
Really?
Yeah.
She hung herself? How come she hung herself?
I don't know, she wasn't happy. (Laughter) It's really shunned upon if you get raped, you know? I guess she would have been stoned to death anyways by her people.
Hmm.
It's fucked up.
Well, she was fucked anyway I guess. (Laughter) In more ways than one! (Laughter)
You didn't get shit from the CO, did you?
Not until those pictures came out, you know. Then the biggest rule was, "No fucking cameras."
(Laughter)
