I may be wrong for this, but I don't feel a bit sorry for any of the prisoners. I don't feel bad for them being tortured, or whatever. If the world had it's way we'd just kindly walk up to people tap them on the shoulder and ask politely where there stuff is, or are you planning on killing someone...etc....etc....etc.

I can't help but to think that these people are some of the same one....or rather from the same group of people...that blow up the 2 Towers. I'm sorry...let them be tortured. If we aren't over there...they'll be over here.


I was just about to make this same comment. If they hadn't have been captured, they would be doing the exact same thing, most likely worse. Have you seen pictures of what they do? Shredding people, torturing them in ways i never would have imagined.

Yeah there is a load in the news about a few British soldiers going on trial for abuse. It ashame that these few stupid people give the rest of the army a bad name.

Ditto.

My sentiments exactly.

The Iraqi fought, the Iraqi lost, the Iraqi became captives, and the US soldiers got medieval on their asses. Big. *******. Deal. :ermm: In war and love everything should be allowed.

How do you know that? Because of the stories you hear and read about? Okay, fair enough, a few stories have been published in the past labelling some Iraqi people as a bit unicvillised (to put it nicely) but don't judge every Iraqi person on a few stories you hear/read about.

The bottom line is, what the US and British troops did was wrong. 100%. The whole point (or one of them. one of many) of this war was to free the country of a brutal dictator, who tortured and mistreated his people.

Now, we're just doing the same :S.

I agree with Dynamix. Even if they did horrible things it just lowers us when we do that kind of crap. Not to mention we signed this thing called the geneva convention saying we don't torture and humiliate prisoners of war, it specifically lays out how any captured person is supposed to be treated (even Nazis treated our soldiers according to this). Doing this endangers our own law obeying soldiers because guess how they'll be treated if they get caught after all this? Even the ones that have done nothing wrong...

Not to mention I think it's been stated by the government that not all those involved in the incident were actual prisoners of war, but family members and others who were swept up in mass due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I simply don't believe all of them were horrific terrorists that deserved all that :/

I would post a link but the images are graphic and not always clothed and I don't think it would go well with the ToS, however I will say they are not at all hard to find for those mature enough and interested.

It's extremely for easy for us to say that what happened to those prisoners was wrong, and in all circumstances, it probably is. But when your in combat and you have the enemy at your heels, it's a whole new mindset. Try to imagine being on a battle field and seeing your comrades being cut down by the enemy, and hearing about others being tortured and beheaded.

If I were a soldier there, I'd probably give all of the prisoners there (if I were sure that they were terrorists), a good beating. Hell, if they're coming to behead our soldiers, those bastards are lucky they aren't dead. I just don't agree with the soldiers' choices to use sexual torture.

And then what's going to stop them from not doing this again. They're going to think that who cares if we get captured, They're all just a bunch of softys and wont harm us. If they're going to tortuer their prisoners why don't we do the same.
