I think we all agree that this sucks big time.  I'm ashamed of what these few dispicable people did. And worry about the fallout that will come from this.  I wonder if it will cost us the war.


 My question is what do you guys think should be done about the rest of the photos and videos of the torturing?  Personally I hope they don't release any more of them especially if they are worse than what we've already seen.  Not because I want to hide the truth but because I don't want these pictures on Al Jazera and all of the other arab propagandists.  What we've seen already justifies the harshes punishment available in my view and it would do more harm than good to show the remaining photos and videos.


 whada you guys think?

Release it all.

What the people can imagine will be far worse than the truth.

I think Sandy is right, it needs to be aired, if not the freaks will claim for years it shows real torture, hangings,  rapings, hot pokers, ETC.


Even if we do release it all some wackos are going to claim the above anyway.

Well, Rumsfeld's a pretty unwavering kind of man, and when he says the images are "brutally sadistic," one has to wonder...in any event  if it is released, how can it be aired w/o editing? seems like its inappropriate for family hour viewing.

They've got this new thing called the "internet". Maybe you've heard of it. :)

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." - Chief Tecumseh

Yep its fudder for the islamic terrorists and therefore i'ld like to say "dont show them". but IMO the truth is more important.
Furtheron i dont think that there where only a few people that are responsible for the torture. I think there's more behind it and therefore everything that could help should be publicized.
