The next outrage du jour from the left.

[Coop]

Makes sense to me.

[areafiftyone]

So what!! How many of those wives would have shot our soldiers if they had the chance. What makes them exempt from being terrorists!

Documents Show Army Seized Wives As Tactic

Why would any leftist complain about this.
The French do this all the time as leverage in going after terrorists.

This was on the David Ensor special on CNN a month or so ago.

[Pondman88]

Ya, but did we put panties on their heads??? that would be an outrage....

[frankjr]

I guess they should not have married a terrorist.

[aligncare]

The U.S. Army in Iraq has at least twice seized and jailed the wives of suspected insurgents in hopes of "leveraging" their husbands into surrender, U.S. military documents show...

And the problem is?

[brainstem223]

If this crap were true or not:

"If it saves one life, its worth it!"

[SFC Chromey]

But documents describing two 2004 episodes tell a different story as far as short-term detentions by local U.S. units.

Here we are in 2006 and they try to bring this back up again? My word, even I understand that Iraq isn't the same now as when I was there in 2003-2004.

What clowns.

[dead]

They left the terrorists with too many other options, unless they took the goats too.

[Indy Pendance]

Is this the latest scandal of the week?

[Pessimist]

Yup...

Watch how quickly they discover the sanctity of marriage now.

[oceanview]

this story being floated convinces me Jill Carroll is likely a willing participant in her "kidnapping".

[theDentist]

This was done in many wars and in many places, including our Revolutionary and Civil wars. No wonder they demanded that all women were released or they'd kill that woman hostage. We're too close to some of them.

[HawaiianGecko]

 

Does anyone else think that people just make this crap up because it's impossible to prove a negative?

I saw Senator Kerry buttering Senator Clinton's biscuit the last time they were together!!!  Now let's see the proof I'm wrong.

[vollmond]

Thw wives should have just been taken into "Protective Custody".

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

If true these sound like isolated cases. More drip, drip, drip from the MSM.

[chae]

And Saddam and his worthless sons used to seize women all the time. The women were then raped and tortured (actual torture not this Abu-Ghraib B.S.) before being killed.
Ummm, so yeah, Saddam good, America & George Bush bad, ok...

[One Proud Dad]

Alls fair in love and war.
