Sir Evil said:NE - problem is that the Geneva Convetion does not apply here. Agreed that we should be held to higher standards and thats exactly why those few responsible will pay for it, However it seems you guys would rather have it out in front as if it was such a atrocity! Tell me, what would you do if you had a fellow soldier beheaded over there, would you think twice about your actions if you caught one of those bastards?
One attrocity does not justify another, even lesser, attrocity. With the actions taken by the personel at Abu Ghraib, America lost even the pretense of moral superiority. The actions of the barbarians who seem to delight in decapitating their prisoners in no way justifies barbarity on the part of our troops, no matter how insignificant it may be.
In order to even think of winning any sort of war against terrorists, we <b>MUST</b> hold to the highest possible standards of conduct. Ohterwise, the terrorists dictate the terms of engagement and we will lose that battle and that war.
