In the past, our decent treatment of combatants and noncombatants that fell into American hands was our protection, such as it was. That protection is now gone. The damage this wrongheaded, depraved policy has done to this country and its moral fiber is incalculable.

I respect your idealistic opinions, and you have every right to them. But you are sadly misinformed.

Read about how the Americans treated prisoners on the islands in Asia while fighting the fanatic Bushido warrior cult Japanese. Read about how the Japanese treated American POWs. If our prisoners were better treated, I feel sure that theirs would have faced better treatment. I do not blame the American soldiers at all; they did what they had to do.

Please read history, my kind friend, and then develop your opinion. Don't think with your emotions.

We are the good guys, therefore we act like it whether the other side does or not

Oh by the way, I do not think with my emotions. I follow the narrow road. I will never be a torturer, you would have to kill me first. I expect Americans to live up to the highest ideals. I know many don’t, but they should.
