I could care less about the abuses at Abu Graib. I don't like that it reflects poorly on our troops. But I don't mind a few eggs broken.

I do. We must be systematic and totally professional. We should medicate those we interrogate but not abuse nor torture them. Simply medicate them and systematically extract all relevant information. Execute those with blood on their hands after they are of no further use in the War on Terror, not out of malice but for justice. Give them a fair trial and a fast hanging. They are not POWs but rather unlawful combatants.

We must kill them faster than they can kill us.

We must also kill them because it is necessary for the preservation of our lives and liberty. We need to show the world

Overwhelming Force

so that every nation would tremble to harbor terrorists. We have not yet done this.

One thing that bothered me about the abuse of the Iraqi prisoners was how stupid and unprofessional it was. You had a few bad apples acting like it was a frat party or something and their immediate superiors evidently didn't know or didn't care what was going on (a WAR is going on). The thought occurred to me that if a prison is being run that sloppily, what else is being mis-managed? I'm sure most of our military people are highly professional but unprofessional behavior and poor management has to be rooted out whenever it is discovered -- one bad person can undermine the work of 1000 good people.

I hate the dogs that murdered Mr. Berg and I hope they will soon be killed or if caputred given some sort of quick but orderly trial and then executed. I hope the hyprocricy of the left's "outrage" over the prisoner abuse and their near indifference over a murder will be evident to everyone. We are not illiterate savages -- we can be orderly and yet decisive and we can follow the Geneva Convention while killing those who need killing.
