Syria or Saudi Arabia should have been done after 9/11.

This link, between Sadaam and Al Qaeda, I'd like to see real evidence it existed. I believe even our own government admitted it was fabricated just after war began.

Honestly though, you claim to have such a moral high ground yourself, what would you do right now, starting today to make things better over there...

So by your own admission, you have no idea... so, if you have no idea, why criticize others trying to do the right thing?

So now you are saying that the entire Coalition is doing wrong and abusing prisoners.... instead of the 20-30 that it actually was????

You are so reaching...

There are good American people. They just go unrepresented.

Show me a reputable link to more than 30 people that have been charged, and I will admit I am wrong. Sadly, you are just peeved because you can not find a way to put more blame on the US... and I'm the one who is despicable? lmao

~~You are messed up in the head. Using 9/11 in a debate of prisoner abuse? Do not use the deaths of those people to justify the deaths and torture of others.~~

No Stabby, Eagler and Bodhi both use pathetic and totally pointless "arguments" to emphasize their inhuman points of view.

The column refers to the British magazine "The Economist". You'll have to look for the articles yourself as they are not directly quoted.

You say that the Red Cross reported abuses as early as mid 2003. However, the story itself did not become "news" until CBS got a hold of some photos. This was AFTER the military had begun an investigation AND informed Congress. So, no, the Red Cross did not inform everyone, and is not responsible from breaking the news. Nor is Amnesty International. The "world" was not "informed" by the efforts of either.

The real problem with this entire situation is that attempts are being made to portray the actions of a few to be the policy of the administration and the norm for entire military, and neither is in fact true. The media would have everyone believe that the incidents at Abu Graib prove that the entire military, all the way up to Rumsfeld and possibly Bush, are stooping to the level of Stalin, Hitler, and Tojo, and their minions. That is not the case.

You're behaving far too reasonably...what are you doing here?

Personally I think those justifying the mistreatment of prisoners are deplorable. Incidentally it is usually the same people justifying the war, and that are still in the mistaken belief that the war has anything to do with terrorism and 9/11.

While I have never excused our mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners, just what do you believe is the reason we went into Iraq...oil?
