0. But that doesn't mean it's right. We should grant the Koran as much reverence as the Bible. Even if it is everything we say and more, going around insulting their faith is not going to win us any friends. We have a real chance at creating moderate Islam, let's not blow it. I have no question that the US mlitary does that. I think the allegations are bs. Yet it needs to be disproved decisively.
Well, they can't deprive them of sleep, they can't stand them up for very long, they can't hit them, they can't threaten them...and now they can't offend them? Just how does one go about getting any useful info from a prisoner? Really, I'm not being rhetorical - I'm seriously asking. Because every time one of the prisoners complains about something, we completely rewrite the rules of interrogation.
Don't you think those prisoners (and the rest of the world) have our number by now? Of course they do - they know exactly what buttons to push to make us jump. We are a laughingstock! We're more concerned about offending people than we are about swiftly and decisively dealing with terrorists in this War on Terror!
