"Fraternity pranks" like this get fraternities shut down, buster.
And, these men weren't armed.
They were buck naked with their hands shackled behind their backs!
Actually a few little dog bites wouldn't be too bad an idea either if it would extract information and save lives. I see nothing wrong with using any means necessary to defend our soldiers.
Every military expert I've heard, including several on this forum, said that this kind of technique is the last thing that should be used to extract information, as it WOULD....NOT....WORK!
The only mistake made was the photos were taken and leaked to the press.
So, any means is OK with you, as long as we don't know about it?
You are one sick puppy.
It would save on dog food.
LOL So, interrogation tactics used on terrorists and baathists are so awful, that fraternities would be SHUT DOWN! Well that's certainly compelling.
People can debate the effectiveness of specific tactics all they want. But what's key is that interrogation inherently involves unpleasantness. And the irrational outrage over these tactics used, i.e. making the enemy wear underwear, parade around naked, simulate sex acts, etc, is out of proportion. We are at war.
We should use any means necessary to get information that would save the lives of our soldiers and innocent civilians. And the Al Qaida prisoners should get special treatment far worse than simply be made to wear women's underwear. They should be tortured and then shot. But no photo's please. Anyone have a problem with that?
