The abuse was horrible and those guilty should pay, but the Pres. should not have apologized. We HAVE to start thinking like the enemy...in the Arab world, apologies and compromise are signs of weakness. When will our leaders learn that to win a war, you must learn to think like the enemy. This is war...period, end. That is what the Pres. should have said.

We are on our way to emulating the enemy.

The abuse was horrible

Was Sodomy used...? was rape used...? was torture used...? was anyone decapitated or mutilated...? intentionally murdered?

All I've seen so far are demeaning acts. WRONG to be sure...but far from horrible.

This stuff should've been dealt with and nipped in the bud. But the Libs are only using this as political fodder to stoke up the heat on Bush.

We disagree.

Well, he did. Move on.

And if you would have said something different, run for president.

Lighten up. We all know it was the politically correct thing for President Bush to do. Protocol, you understand?

We have to understand them, but please, let's not start thinking like them.
