Praying for these families and their loved ones.

Pray for their families.

Well, let's just get some of those "human shields" in there. Oh, forget that, they hate Americans, they'd probably spit tofu on the American prisoners in between kissing Iraqi rears.

"Americans bad, the torturing Iraqis good" grunt, grunt.

George Orwell (Malcolm Muggeridge) would have recognized all this for what it is.

[demnomo]

Yeah, and we will not hear even a peep from the Red Cross or Geneva Convention officials regarding this outrage.

The ACLU and Jesse Jackson will peep up loudly, however, to offer aid and comfort to the Iraqi POWs and the Muslim marine who killed and maimed his fellow marines. That we can be sure of.

[realpatriot]

Please pardon my ignorance, who is Malcolm Muggeridge?

[Trust but Verify]

Is it clear yet whether these are active duty or reservists? They look pretty harmless to me, like they were maybe recently plucked from the civilian ranks.

[BossLady]

Prayers for Mrs. Hudson her family and the families all of POWs and those who gave their lives for our country!!!!

[BlackBirdII]

I have a comment, and it's tears, STAY strong!

[piasa]

I wish they wouldn't give so much info about these people's families. SOB's like the Baathists have been known to use such info to cause a lot of misery to captives and even to their families far away.

An article contrasting Hudson with someone else in the news: Dignity and Deadly Betrayal, the Tale of Two Soldiers

Let's win this thing and don't let the appeasers show their faces without shame.

[tuckrdout]

I abhor anyone, anywhere who exploits these photographs. Our children should not be used as propaganda! Anyone who callously posts the photos of tortured GI's without the expressed permission of their relatives is a monster.

These servicemen deserve some human dignity! They did not recieve it from the enemy, we expect them to get it from the people at home! Why would the rest of the GI's serving over in this conflict want to continue to protect a bunch of people in the USA who will get some kind of rise out of seeing their bodies after they are dead?!

PLEASE, please, as a family member to the other members of my American family, please protest all images of the corpses of service men!

This poor woman....

[Main Street]

How very sad for this poor mother to see this.

My dad told me when he was a boy, just after the First World War, the Silent Movie theaters here in the U.S. would show incredibly violent, detailed, and graphic footage of out troops engaged in combat, and in hand to hand fighting. Well, one day, the footage showed a close up of the face of an American Soldier lying in a trench, dying, gasping for his last breaths of air. And it just so happened his mother was in the theater and watch with horror as her son died on the large silver screen. She stood up and started screaming hysterically. After the news of this got out, the war documentaries where all edited, so that this would never happen again.

[FITZ]

I can't imagine the worry and grief this mother must be going through. I pray God comforts her.

[demnomo]

I take back part of my post #5. There is a thread that states the Red Cross has complained.

Still waiting on the ACLU and Jesse Jackson.

[HitmanLV]

I don't like the pics either, but they are news, no doubt.

[wimpycat]

To be fair, the International Red Cross did issue a statement regarding the treatment of POWs under the Geneva Convention. I can't remember if I saw it on the internet or on a crawler across the bottom of the screen on TV, but they did comment on it.

[OneVike]

God bless this woman, to lose your husband and then have your son become a POW.
God please give her grace?

[wku man]

I've heard the 507th is National Guard.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[proust1]

I agree.

[demnomo]

Looks like we posted at the same time. I must admit that I am shocked. Did the Red Cross complain about the evil treatment of the Iraqi POWs taken by the Coalition Forces? The only photos, video and interviews of the Iraqi POWs were voluntary and done on the spot because the poor Iraqis surrendered to the journalists, first!
