The mortars hit "a living area where they have their sleeping quarters," the spokesman said.....

On Wednesday, the coalition announced it was freeing 506 of 12,800 prisoners in a goodwill gesture also aimed at encouraging more Iraqis to come forward with intelligence against anti-American guerrillas.

FIRST, what kind of living quarters are they?. I've read they are in all kinds of shelters - even mobile homes. This is a combat zone. DIG IN! We are building new roads and buildings and bridges for the Iraqis and our troops don't have safe bases? Its not like we havn't had the time or money. Are we waiting for another Beirut? Fortify that sh*t people!

And on top of that we are freeing 500 of these scum and we Still have 12000! PRISONERS. THERE is your minesweeping solution right there. Im telling you - you can be a compassionate conservative but not a compassionate combatent! We need to start killing more of the enemy instead of giving them (insert the "A" word here). {AMNESTY}

The living quarters for most are nothing more than a tent, a bombed out hotel or other out building. My son has been living in a tin airport hanger for the last 10 months,

They are in barracks like buildings with separate rooms.....no indoor plumbing. Very basic.
