What Officers? Unnamed officers. We don't need no stinking named sources.
Officers also say an IED detonated in Iraq contained 3-4 LITERS of sarin gas --- a WMD. But the Slimes need not report this, since it's not about the routine abuses of prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

Gee whiz, the New York Times is still finding fresh angles to the Abu Ghraib story. Guess they've decided that that old Nicholas Burg beheading story has been done to death.

I spoke to one of our soldiers on leave a few days after this news broke. He said witnessed one of ours decking out an enemy prisoners and he was arrested immediately.
Personally after hearing the tape of the religion of peace sawing off the head of a Jew and celebrating, I would have no problem with sending off all my delicates off to Iraq with a message to go for it.
Unfortunately I think it's gonna take a few more 9-11's for Americans to get a clue.

Oh boo! An Officer had pressure put on him. Who gives Rats Fat A$$! He was trained for getting results, not giving in to some PC wuss crowd. Every soldier over there has immense pressure on them, so I don't want to hear this crap.

I wonder if the hate-America crowd would be upset with abuse if one of the prisoners spouted out info about a 9/11 type attack? I wonder if the hate-America crowd would whine if these "humiliation" tactics uncovered locations of sarin gas warehouses.
If we continue to cave-in to critics, we will end up getting no info about possible attacks. If this could have just been handled internally....boy, oh, boy!

You know what? These officers could have the balls my Dad did (AF Lt. Colonel). He always stood nose to nose and asked: 'You want me to do what?' And he was usually right - general or no general - and I met alot of them as a teenager overseas.
This is BS dished out to those who have no clue how those who value their service operate.
