first we torture hostages to death in cuba and they say its "justified" i ask by what law get no answer.

now u.s. army takes women and children hostages.
its "justified" i again ask by what law and know there is no answer.

what the hell is happening to this country.

does anyone realize there is a reason we dont torture and take hostages?

after thousands of years of this crap they realized it led nowhere.

now we get to learn again?

Escalation is a natural factor in every conflict unless you actively try to prevent it.

Yes, its far more logical to let a couple of dozen US Servicemen die rather than scare the crap outta some murderous Iraqi generals wife.

Good to see you've got your priorities straight

No, when you commit a crime and have been tried and convicted you "volunteered" to be controlled. Thats why we have laws.

GS, the ashtrays are in progress...*sounds of lab experments in the background...

I don't know this Iraqi general. Was he a murderer? Was he a threat?

Think about this GS, who many MORE would have died had the general not been taken? We'll never know. But I agree with the point that something should be looked into this, though it still sounds to me on the surface as being ok, and see what the total facts are beyond the commanders interview responses.
