While I don't necessarily agree with that treatment either .. the intimidation factor is what counts.

I'm not 100% sure I'm against what was done. But I am sure that I do care. We need to be careful not to become complaisant about how the army treats prisoners - even if they are not subject to the Geneva Convention.

Shalom.

Oh yes, I agree. We do need to care how our military treats prisoners. But .. when prisoners are gaining weight, have good fresh food, clean clothes, clean bedding, fresh air, there is no way this is a general attitude of torture - it's absurd.

But .. as I screamed at FOX the other day. You can't explain to people what torture ISN'T if they don't know what torture IS.

By the American stations refusing to show the true torture videos from Saddam, the ACLU can use the prison photos as "torture" - because a lot of the public has no idea those pictures are NOT TORTURE.
