To begin with, the Iraqi prisoners were NOT tortured, rather they were humiliated And prisoners in concentration camps were not starved, but were on a diet. The Gestapo has an opening for you Ann.
Did you know, America treated is prisoners exetremely well in WWII? They did this, in hopes Americans taken prisoner, would be treated well alo. German prisoners were allow to work on farms, and got paid. German generals got a small home to stay in, and have servants, all paid for by the USA. They had it better as a prisoner, than they did as a german citizen. Many German prisoners chose to stay in England, after WWII, rather than go back to Germany, because they were treated so well.
Now compare that to today's America. Humiliation? How far has the USA fallen into depravity? I don't defend the enemy, but condemn an invasion that should never have been. The invading country, such as Germany, Japan, etc,.. torture prisoners, to get information, because the population despises the invader, and wont help. The population, in Iraq is not helping. The USA should not be there. The Iraq invasion isn't "war on terror." Get it through your THICK SKULL.
7 bad eggs do not represent the over 300,000 courageous U.S. soldiers in Iraq Most of Nazi soldiers didn't work concentration camps either. The acts of depravity came from the top. Bush is the commander giving orders to commit torture and other such war crimes.
WASHINGTON - A group of lawyers in the Bush administration argued in a paper last year that the president has supreme authority over the questioning of terrorist suspects, and can legally order interrogators to torture or commit other crimes against them.
Now get it through your think skull! |
