You also need some reality checks on the behavior and management of prisoners. They have nothing but time and resources to do you harm, which in Iraq is why they got there.

I'm less concerned about the prisoners here in the US who have been completely through our justice system, have attorneys and many liberal organizations looking out for their welfare. In the battlefield, enemy combatants have none of that; in addition, are subject to conventions on the treatment of enemy prisoners to which we are a signatory. Few of those prisoners are anything more than suspects; few have had any charges levied, and it's doubtful that the MPs there had any responsibility for "working" the prisoners to keep them off balance.

I don't have a problem with tough interrogation, and much less of a problem with what happens in the heat of battle. But I do believe that no one up the chain of command had any hint of this. Sometimes it's best to just be out in the open and admit a problem rather than build a justification that might not withstand the test of time. Take care.

Man are you clueless on American Justice. Didn't you hear me when I told you that what you are complaining about going on in Iraq occurs right here in America every day?

Just what do you think a BAU is in a state prison?

I can't blame anyone trying to be compassionate with genuine motives, but you need to do your homework my friend.

I agree with you...I'm always amazed how the REMFs play 'tough-guys'along with the non-combatants here and in the media. When you think that someone like Ranger (Cpl)Pat Tillman was wearing an American uniform and you then see pictures of these pukes in the same uniform your realize the term 'a disgrace to the uniform' is warranted.

There is no honor and no glory in any of this...

As a 23+ year Army veteran; Enlisted 6-years, Comissioned Infantry, etc. I'm disgusted by these sorry sacks of crap pretending to be soldiers...
