You are right. The US sucks. You should board the next plane out. I'm sure N. Korea, Iraq or Iran would be happy to welcome you aboard..... JLA

Yes, we cannot do anything aggressive, because then our enemies will get even more aggressive. Although, it is hard to see how, as they are already plotting 24 hours a day to get nuclear bombs that they can set off in our most populous cities. Al Qaeda might not respect the Geneva Convention with regard to our soldiers? Heck, they don't even take civilians alive. Torture? What if torture could unveil a plot to set off a nuclear suitcase bomb at Disneyland? We didn't treat Japanese POW's this way, we didn't treat Charles Manson this way. But none of them had information that endangered (or could save) the lives of millions. Three Jews are about to go before Nazi firing squad in WW Two. The Nazi Captain in charge of the squad asks each to express a last wish. One says he would like a cigarette. The second says he would like a swig of vodka. The third says, "My wish is for you to go to Hll, you Nazi bstard." The other two scold him, "Shhhh...don't make him mad!!!"

<<for what will happen and what will be the reaction when surprise surprise US servicemen are treated like this should they be captured....and that will happen unfortunately....>> Now, now Christine. The detainees at Gitmo are being treated even better that the Geneva rules call for. They are fed a special diet according to their religion, allowed all the prayer time they want and there are more doctors fixing their ills than there are detainees. If anything the worst part of being at Gitmo is they have to spend time with their own ilk. EDIT, that's so flappy might not accuse me of an edit. They just reported that some of the detainees at GITMO are being treated for Malaria and TB. There have also been 15 operations. Best medical care these guys have ever had.

dems continue to bash our country,your article is especially treasonous Chris, I am sad to think that your hate would go so deep as to believe these prisoners are in fact tortured or denied any rights whatsoever,it is just what the enemies of America use as fuel to enlist suicide killers.....seems strange that you would fall for such sic writing bashing our country..........as I said before someday it may be that we have to kill dems to save America,as they side with our enemies time after time and even sell them our secrets for campaign donations.This diatribe against America will be used to further hate for us and will result in more American deaths,
