Is the mistreatment of Iraq prisoners by American soldiers an ongoing problem?

Question

Or did it end, for the most part, after the scandal erupted? I'm writing a problem/solution essay so I'd appreciate sources.

Answer 1

it most definately did not end ! WATER BOARDING
after that dies down it will be replaced by something else

ALSO make sure you mention , rendition flights ie sending prisoners to other countries (out sourcing of torture) where
torture is more acceptable , like israel

Answer 2

Are you referring to Abu Graihb?
I don't know. I do know that nobody was killed or seriously injured in that abuse. Also the US government did not endorse this type of treatment of the prisoners and the guards responsible were held to account and punished.
This basically turned into a big story because their were pictures of naked people and it was a black eye for the United States (and there was probably hope among those reporting that it would be tied to Bush). In actuality, what happened in Abu Graihb was probably only slighty worse than a fraternity hazing gone bad.

The bigger problem is the way terrorist groups often treat their prisoners....which often involves severing the head from the body.

Maybe you could write a problem/solution paper about that

Answer this: If you had to be held captive by someone, would you rather be held by the American soldiers at Abu Graihb (that would be the worst among the American soldiers) or al Qaeda militants?

Let me rephrase that. Would you rather be stripped naked, laughed at, and be forced into weird positions with other naked prisoners, or would you like to have your head hacked off?

Answer 3

They are in hog heaven in our prisons. Ahmadinejad told you that they have no homosexuals in Iran. They don't take prisoners either. What he didn't say but meant was they killed them. If they came out of the closet they are dead.

America is the most wonderful place in the world to live and no American seems to realize it. If you are an American you are a king or queen compared to other countries.

Every time our government mentions talking to the international community I always want to know what for. None have it as good as does America. How could we possibly want anything that any other country has? This is not arrogance. This is being blessed by God.

By your question are you telling me that the American soldiers are suppose to carry the Iraq prisoners around on velvet pillows? God told us to love them. He didn't tell us to give them special treatment. Allah told them to kill the infidels.
You are an infidel. How do you think you would be treated? Not much to understand about DEAD.

Answer 4

What a load of hooey. Mistreatment by the US. Lets get a few facts straight, something that is an inconvenience such as lack of sleep, mind games and such is not torutre. It has no long term effects. Being decapitated is most definitely torture, not to mention murder. The only scandal was what was drummed up by the politicans and most of them knew about it before it happened , then fiegned ignorance of it. would you rather forego a little torture or have your lifeless body dragged through the streets, hanged or burned or decapitated on national tv? go to iraq and hold the mutilated, lifeless corpse of your battle buddy in your arms, then tell me how you feel about torture.

Answer 5

Whatever the `mistreatment, try being an American soldier hedl by Iraqis or Iranians or any of all those cartoonish little arab or Asian regimes! I guaranty that as bad as being detained by the US could be, its still a walk in the oerk compared to the other way around.
