Iraqi prisoner mistreatment, why blame US.

the link above is a news article proposing responsibility is now a step further up the ranks. Originally it was just rogue soldiers, to bad for the fall guys...

Who can b**** about a few naked pictures (while still distasteful and seriosly wrong) and complaints about this or that when Paul Johnson was KIDNAPPED AND BEHEADED WITH A KNIFE! Just my two cents.

I think its easy to sit back and say its okay to abuse prisoners, as long as some folks are being beheaded.

Our country should have higher standards.

thank you for missing the point

i bet it ain't the same undisclosed motel that cheney gets....

I know because the point is that we're fighting "Terrorists," who by definition do not heed any international laws of enagagement or conflict, with the US Army who should be just as free to invade soveireign nations as any other terrorist group, and, sure, take naked pictures of them.

Immoral behavior begets immoral behavior, I'll paraphrase someone here. Is it surprising that American soldiers are blurring the lines of international law some when fighting in a war that has been from the start an affront to any such regulations?

So, Iraq never does anything to kill or harm one American citizen, never invades one of its allied countries, and America invades it despite massive argument from the United Nations - there's that "rest of the world" that Harry and Bush don't give a s*** about anymore - and people are getting pissy that soldiers might be following suit and taking some liberties of their own on how this war is being fought?

Volkov, you're claim that Israel is all innocent is ridiculous. I do believe the Israelis have a right to exist and I don't believe the Palestinians are innocent either....but Israel has its terroristic side too. Just a few days ago they shot an innocent 13 year old Palestinian child 15 times! I can go on and on.

Just because they use tanks, guns and helicopters, doesn't mean it can't be terrorism. And Yes, the Palestinians do have a right to live in thier homeland(which is Palestine by the way, not Jordan) The claim that Jordan is thier homeland has already been refuted.

I have never heard such a stupid statement that's been accepted by many people, espicially the right-wing/prozionists: "the Palestinians didn't have a land to begin with". Please....

Saladin, I would like to hear more information on Isreal and Palestine. Specifically the when and how of isreal and your perspective as well as insight into the situation.

Sure jeoin, but I've got a chemistry exam tomorrow. So probably during the weekend I can spend some time explaining it. It's not THAT long, but its not something I can write up in 5 minutes....

No problem, good luck on your test. thanks.
