I have several friends who are retired military and who keep in close contact with folks still serving our country. According to what they were told and the very little bit they shared, she was tortured. The rescuers saw the battery and the hook ups next to her bed.

These Iraqis are monsters on the level with the German Nazi's and I hope and pray they are punished appropriately in this world. I know God will take care of the next world.

These Iraqis are monsters on the level with the German Nazi's; Russian, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Cuban Communists; Imperial Japanese; followers of Idi Amin, ...

The Nazis had no monopoly on unbelievable, subhuman brutality. In fact, Nazi treatment of POWs (as opposed to "untermensch" civilians rounded up for the "final solution") was relatively tame. Partucularly compared to the treatment meted out by the Japanese, North Koreans, and North Vietnamese. I'm not "defending" the Nazis, here, just making sure the Communists and non-ideological thugs get the credit they deserve.
