REPORTER: "What can you tell us about four arrests, general?"
KIMMITT: "I have no report of four arrests."
REPORTER: "Surely you have some information. C'mon we need a soundbyte."
KIMMITT: What do you want from me? That they are being 'pantied and collared' as we speak?"
REPORTER: "Scoop!"

Neither do I. If they heard about the successful snatch of four Berg killers through ind. sources, (after all, the snatch would have depended on intelligence, which could be sold to many players), the French would release the info just to screw up the successful interrogation of the prisoners. That is, they would try to force the prisoners to be shown and accounted four. Successful interrogation at this point would depend on their arrests being unconfirmed, so that they can be taken to a remote dungeon and worked over by experts.
And in such a case, results would be superior, because with four related prisoners, you get to compare stories. If they don't agree about every detail of their past month, every minute factoid about Zarkawi, another digit comes off.
I'm talking hardball here. If we're not tough enough to play in the Arab Leagues, we should pack up and go home now, and save further casualties.

It seems like a reasonable guess. It'll be interesting to see if this story just dissapears now.

Well, to be honest, I'm not tossing my Telly out the widow yet either -- not as long as DVD's like "Master and Commander -- the Far Side of the World" are available.

"Slowly knife their heads off with a rusty pair of scissors on camera."
Heart says yes. Head says absolutely not.
The one thing that we can't do to beat them is to BE them. Granted, the old saying is that if you're a wolf chasing a fox, you don't go dressed like a wolf...you become the fox.
In our case, we are different. I think that's why the world alternatively loves us and hates us: we are different. Why has the method of capital punishment changed over the years, from beheadings to hangings to electrocution to gas chamber, to the current standard, lethal anesthesia?
A hint: it's not because we want our capitally convicted prisoners less dead. It's because we as a people believe in the dignity of life, even in the legal ending of it.
As long as the right people are convicted, and as long as they end up humanely dead, I will be satiated.

This country's priorities are so screwed up it isn't even humorous anymore. Isn't it pathetic? I mean, this prison abuse story is past the silly point. When real news items come in, such as WMD and Berg beheading, media seem like deer in the headlights.

Sarcasm completely understood.
I'm all for treating them humanely...so long as the humane treatment consists of the triple anesthesia cocktail, on a nice bed with seat belts and cameras.
