Western Media Cries Torture, Ignores Its Own Role in Creating the Chaos
📰 THE STORY: French lawyers are claiming that suspected ISIS members, who were transferred from Syrian detention to Iraqi prisons, are being subjected to inhumane treatment and torture, prompting calls for France to intervene and repatriate its citizens. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The current state of Iraq, and the very existence of ISIS, is a direct consequence of the
2003 U.S.-led invasion, justified by fabricated WMD claims. That invasion destabilized the entire region, destroyed Iraqi state institutions, and created a power vacuum that extremist groups eventually filled. Prior to 2003, Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, while authoritarian, maintained a functioning state and largely contained sectarian violence. The 'War on Terror' narrative conveniently omits its
own role in enabling the rise of 'terror' groups. Double Standard: Western media and governments express 'concern' over the treatment of their citizens who willingly joined a brutal terror organization, while simultaneously remaining largely silent on documented torture chambers like Abu Ghraib, operated by the U.S. during its occupation of Iraq from 2003-2008. Furthermore, the systematic human
rights abuses against prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, and the 'extraordinary rendition' program that sent suspects to countries known for torture, rarely generate the same urgent calls for intervention.
