And MANY of the detained have been innocents--but that's to be expected when we give out bounties to get suspects and tribesmen can make cash at the same time that they remove rivals by fingering them.

Who??

Name some with a source please.

Please source the bounty info too..haven't heard that one yet, even at DU.

Interestingly, I first heard the bounty info here at FR, from an anti-Islam poster. But here's a link to one story about the allegations... http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-05-31-bounties_x.htm?csp=34

Regardless, go to reports like the report of General Ryder about how detainees are often innocents. They use the dragnet approach, rounding up many with the intent of sorting through later. That's why so many are released.

So we have a choice...

If we follow the suggestions of some on this thread (e.g., drowning all detainees), then we either are going to kill innocents, or require our troops to be use more discretion in who they capture. Personally, I don't want our troops to be handcuffed that way.
