Did you read the Red Cross report stating that SEVENTY PERCENT of the detainees in Iraq were there for no apparent reason and the vast majority were eventually released.
Ignorant indeed.
I know the story all to well. Here in AF the 22nd MEU was just doing routine patrols when one of their young Cpl's get shot and killed...so they cordon the village and get every fighting age male round up to investigate. Then if they turn out innocent they let them go...they don't behead them and video tape it. Pay attention to the words...
eventually released The world is outraged by some guys pulling college type hazing acts on people that would slit their throats if the tables were turned. We are giving them 3 meals a day, daily showers, clean clothes, and a bed to sleep on. Not only that but insuring that they live another day and not die from some missed placed rocket attack from their own people. Don't get me wrong, we can all agree that the people in those pictures weren't doing the right and just thing, but can you honestly say that you wouldn't do the same if you were in that situation?
No apparent reason??? I think not. We don't drive around and pick up people becuase we are bored and have room in the prison.
And I don't see how you can compare "detaining" someone for a day or two, to cutting someones head off and filming it.
