a military prison it is wrong. There were pictures taken of american soldiers torturing some Iraqies. They were captured and put into a prison. So here is the question why is it ok to kill a person on the street but illegal to torture them in a prison.
These americans are being court marsheled or already have been and are facing long prison terms.
None of it makes any sense..
and if you make fun of my grammar and spelling I will report you for making fun of me.

Because Liberals don't like waterboarding! I say torture terrorists to the point of electrocution, pull a few teeth, bamboo slivers up a fingernail, or a blow torch!

1) Where did you get the idea that we are "killing people in cold blood" in Iraq? There have been some incidents where individual soldiers may have violated the law. These cases are being investigated & the accused face court martial.
2) As for torture in prison, It depends on the definition of torture. I'm in favor of any interogation method that saves American lives. The prosoners aren't POW's in the legal sense. They are unlawfull combatants who do not deserve any legal protection.

How about if someone mocks you for saying you will report them for mocking you?
Its not right that soldiers are being court marshalled for these things. They are young men and women thrown into difficult situtations and its hard to saw how anyone would handle that. We have a responsibility as the worlds only super power to treat those we have imprisoned with respect. Even if they dont deserve it, we should still be better than the other countries.

Your answer to another's question:
first off we all know what your saying is lie... Because if you were shipped out to a war zone, you would not be on here asking questions.
you are only allowed to send emails from the war zones and everything sent is monitored...
HMMMM I have a question for you....How the HELL would you know? Are you in a combat zone...?? No I didn't think so.
And in regard to your question...just stop asking them...You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, stay on the sidelines and let us do our job with out you intentionally or unintentionally giving us (military) a bad image.
Thank you

War is hell! Much of the fighting in the war in Iraq is done in the streets. The soldiers are constantly in danger in the streets. The soldiers that tortured prisoners were just being cruel.. It was stupid and degrading not only to the prisoners but to themselves.

The military can kill people when they think their lives are in danger or when they are protecting something or someone. We can't torture people because of the laws of land warfare. http://faculty.ed.umuc.edu/~nstanton/FM27-10.htm
Check that out it will tell you exactly what the military can and can not do.

In the streets of Iraq, it is either them or us. In the prison, it is what is right and what is wrong.

Your assumption is that the military is killing people "cold blooded in the streets." The only people the military is attacking are people who are known to be terrorists or their collaborators. They are not just randomly blasting people, and to assume that reveals how little you know and respect the military.

So glad you show proof of the killing in cold blood.
I am sorry but the last comment shows how childish you are being.

WOW, are you over in Iraq to see them get killed cold blooded in Iraq?
But you do have a point, panties on their heads? how is that torture?
Whatever happened to getting your head sliced off on TV? Is that no longer torture?
