I've come to the same conclusion! We need to hold the prisoners - PRISONER! In many cases, I think the idea is the war effort would be hurt more by taking the time to deal with all the surrendering Iraqis than it could be by anything the surrendering Iraqis would be likely to do.

Okay, lets continue to be "nice guys". Lets continue to have our people taken prisoner - shot in the head, raped, beaten, starved, stoned, etc, etc,. It's time that we stopped being nice guys!
Let me ask you this: An act of treason was committed yesterday 16 soldiers were injured, one fatally. Should we be nice to the traitor that went against HIS OWN COUNTRYMEN? Or should we pat the prisoner on the back and put him in brig somewhere. What if that were your son, daughter, brother or father that died - how would you feel?
In talking with Muslims on Paltalk, they have clearly stated that they would defend their religion BEFORE THEY WOULD PROTECT THEIR COUNTRYMEN OR COUNTRY.
People need to get it through their heads that the Iraqui's are not fighting conventional warfare like we are, they are fighting a religious war. Therefore there rules are going to be different IN ALL ASPECTS!!!
