My feeling on this kind of duress is if the prisoner don't like it than don't do things that got them there!

If they were criminals I might think this is out order, but these are terrorsti!

No longer am I going to be lead by emotions my view after the beheadign Tuff cookies!

If they caught those that murdered Berg I think degradation and death is do to them!

I would not torture but I have NO qualms about degradation and death!

My sentiments exactly, Resty. I think something that we missed in the hearings is that these were detainees, not POW's in the Iraq prison. There were conditions that were not met under the GC treaty guide lines, as they were not in uniform and not entitled to POW status, but only unlawful combatants. Of course, that gets lost in the politics on the hill.

They were terrorists who hid behind the skirts of women and fought from mosques and Red Cross vehicles.

Do I have any sympathy for them and their humiliation? NO

But, I still want the women generals, the MP and MI who were in charge of this whole mess to pay the price for their incompetence. They were both promoted after Tailhook farce to their 'Peter Principle' positions. They had a spitting match on each other and both were afraid to even step into their own prisons to inspect. I think the buck stops with them.

I hope this farce of prison abuse and the hearings will fade with the images of an American being beheaded.
