It was sick and wrong. It is embarrassing to our military and to our country, and these soldiers should/are being punished.
Our military is above such actions and the people who turned them in did the right thing. Those "few" bad eggs have given our enemies amo to use against us and believe me when I say the rest of the troops will pay for the actions of those bad eggs. This is the kind of stuff that could have a backlash on us for a long time to come.

Maybe we should get this behind us. Let's just trade them for an equal number of hostages.

Wonder how many of these terrorists...fed men women and children into the shredders
or if any of them were involved in the rape and torture of our American female personnel
Torture....yeah right..they were embarrased...hardly the same as torture...
These prisoners should be field interrogated...well away from the friggen commie journalists
and fellow travelers of the hate America, Christians, Jews & Israel club....
Wont be long before the "Moon Goddess" Crescent Moon flag will be flying over Iraq the USA will be gone...and they can go back to the torture murder rape of their young women for daring to look up and aacidently making eye contact with a man... as they walk

Why is it in most press reports the fact that a Women general was in charge of the prison and Women were among the abusers it is not reported?

I'll go along with you on this, but I'd add that the first enemy to use this fodder against us was CBS...
To: duke_h3
Don't ask, don't tell. You figure it out.
To: duke_h3
Man, I hope those six "soljers" get slammed bigtime.
Not so much for humiliating POWs but for bringing this world of sh*t down on our military with their creepy pranks.

I agree totally... but I blame the media also for releasing this to the public at this time. What bothers me the most, is the young american soldier and american contractor (as well as others) who are being held hostage may end up paying for what has happened. I bet within a short amount of time we will see the terrorists video taping the hostages being abused or executed as pay back for this.
All this just turns my stomach as I fear what they will do to the current hostages and any the are able to capture in the future. CBS (or any media source) did not have to put these pictures out there at this time if ever.
To: skeeter
Are we 100% sure that the prison guards did not just walk in on these prisoners expressing their new found freedom? After all, they have been repressed for all those years...and I'm sure there are bathhouses in San Francisco that look just like this.

"I'll go along with you on this, but I'd add that the first enemy to use this fodder against us was CBS..."
Yes it was CBS and I will not defend the. There is no defense for CBS and the way they put it out there.
IMHO....
Our military should have had a controlled press conference and brought it out, but CBS didn't give them the chance from what I understand. CBS needs a smack-down!

I am 100% sure this was stupid. I hope the General pays for it hard and fast.

Besides he point of who these prisoners are or what was done to them. (what is done is done) The media should have never released these to the public. It is just to risky to do so while they still have hostages or can grab more hostages. The media is adding fuel to the fire and I a sick of it.
To: joltinjoe; brigette; duke_h3; John Lenin
I would like to see proof that these are American soldiers.

What possessed these idiots to photograph or allow to be photographed their shennanigans? Are they brain dead?
