Right on point! Military Solution or No Solution!

Two wrongs don't make a right. I think the willingness of Freepers to justify the sort of disgusting sexual abuse and behavior of the MPs is chilling and indecent.

"Why should we be "polite" and "politically correct" fighting EVIL??"

Because the liberals are the friends of evil.

Tell us how you really feel, George! Personal anecdote: quite some while back there was a national event of enormous consequence that shall remain unnamed. I thought it quite intriguing that I seemed to react to it in a totally different way than it seemed most 'normal' people did. I remember wondering if I was really so far out of the mainstream or if the media just made it "look that way" etc, etc.. Anyhow, there was finally a poll taken on the matter right about that time and it turned out I was in a 9% fringe minority. I've never been the same since..

So, I just wanted to say welcome to the 9% fringe, George!*

*Though I'm definitely in the 79% supermajority on this one..

Here's the problem I have with all of this: it will harm our ability to interrogate terrorists in Iraq.

There is a very clear line when that cannot be crossed when interrogating prisoners and these people crossed that line. They have brought unwarranted criticism and scrutiny to ALL of our men and women in uniform. The perpetrator should be and will be rounded up and dealt with harshly, but the fallout will be that our ability to extract information from these terrorists will be hampered.

We should show no mercy on the battlefield to those who mean to harm us and we must be firm and resolute in our interrogation of suspected terrorists, but we cannot abuse them.

I don't think what was done was right, but this is a war and it is understandable. As for all the uproar over the abuses, I think it's been blown way out of proportion

What about the MOAB? The gloves need to come off. I'm too angry to type correctly.

"Am I sorry for the "alleged" Iraqi prisoner abuses?? NO!! I'm only sorry that the story and the photos leaked out."

In solid agreement. Especially when these photos and the Taguda (SP?) report were evidence in the Army's investigation of the MP's. These things didn't just leak out. They were "planted" by certain people with a specific agenda. Even if that agenda results in compromising a criminal investigation, the deaths of more American military personnel, the distruction of American cities, and losing the War on Terror. I am angry, too!
