[sw] were you SURPRISED by this????

I am not so much surprised that it was said or done, but that such things are openly stated in writing and contained in the official records. No military officer would forward such a thing up the chain of command in writing unless he were absolutely certain such talk was acceptable. The conversation is simply matter of fact. I did not expect to find openly documented considerations of extermination.

if you think that's hard to believe, go check out the OFFICIAL joint resolution of Congress on INTENTIONAL MISTREATMENT of CSA POWs! the resolution is in the Congressional Record.
