Good post, and good food for thought.
America does not torture her prisoners of war and never has though the MSM and Democrats would have you believe otherwise - the Abu Ghraib fiasco/dumb stunts, is about as close as we ever come to "torture". Club Gitmo is the luxury prison of all prisons just to make the liberals happy, a bad mistake with unintended consequences.
I think the best plan is an order to our military - TAKE NO PRISONERS!
Mc Pain continues his assault on his own country, hoping to pick up the votes of Islamists, the press and the left wing loonies that love him.
Nice article by Andrew McCarthy. You can go to
http://www.genevaconventions.org/
and look up all the violations these people McCain wants to protect are committing for yourself. And lets not forget they are not a party to agreements. Here is a short list of some of the things they are doing that I almost posted yesterday.
They are not in a uniform
Taking hostages
Murder
Mutilation
Sabotage
Torture
Attacking civilians and civilian targets
These savages don't deserve Geneva protections. McCain should be ashamed of himself.
I'm in favor of a amendment against torture, as long as it's agreed to and signed by both sides. We'll do what you do and vis versa.
"The first thing our guys are told is don't get captured. They know that if captured they will be tortured and beheaded on the internet. Zarqawi openly offers bounties for anyone who brings him a live American serviceman. This motivates the criminal element who otherwise don't give a shit about the war. A lot of the beheading victims were actually kidnapped by common criminals and sold to Zarqawi. As such, for our guys, every fight is to the death. Surrender is not an option."
