The detainees are permitted to keep copies of the Koran as well as prayer beads, and the get culturally appropriate meals, time to worship and daily calls to prayer, the State Department said Wednesday.

As copmpared to our detainees who are regularly beheaded.

This is ludicrous. They are prisoners of war and entilted to humane treatment...meaning enough to eat and drink. We do not have to and, IMHO, should not cater to their particular religious and cultural likings.

Where is the Muslim outrage and work stop protests over their own Jihadists who violate all decency and behead innocent civilians...or violate their own Koran and kill innocent Muslim civilians?

All of this is nothing more than a very thinly veiled and even blatant attempt to undercut our efforts through PR when they cannot make any progress militarily or politically. We are crazy as a people if we fall for it and our politicians are crazy if they fall for it.

"We do not have to and, IMHO, should not cater to their particular religious and cultural likings."

I've thought this from the very beginning, when we began to show how wonderfully "kinder and gentler" we were with these rapacious, violent, trained killers!

Thanks so much for your excellent comments!
