I just read some more about it, maybe they weren't broken in custody, see I can admit when I'm wrong :-)
But, look at this:

"She's real spirited. She hasn't eaten in eight days and she's hungry," said her father, Greg Lynch. "She wants some food."

I would say that's contrary to Geneva conventions, wouldn't you?

She's a feisty one, though, look at this:

The Washington Post reported Thursday that the 19-year-old Army supply clerk shot several Iraqi soldiers during the March 23 ambush that resulted in her capture. She kept firing even after she had several gunshot wounds, finally running out of ammunition, the newspaper said, citing unidentified U.S. officials.

"She was fighting to the death," the Post quoted an official as saying. "She did not want to be taken alive."

"As a side issue what's a girl doing fighting against Muslims?"

Is your point that women should not be soldiers and fight in wars? Or does it have something to do with Islam? How does the "against Muslims" inform your comment?
