I hope that a thorough investigation is done to clarify exactly what happened. P.O.W.'s shouldnt be treated in this manner, IRAQ or not. Part of military training seems to be dehumanizing the enemy or stereotyping them, i.e. statements and descriptions like"Camel Jockies, towel heads etc" that way killing them and rationalizing that they too arent human beings, with familes. I'm not saying that the IRAQ soldiers would give U.S. POW's even a modicum of respect, and that too is TRULY wrong. The world is watching the U.S. as it continues to stumble in IRAQ, and many enemies have been created from actions such as the ones in this article. Peace cannot be won by force. Ask Israel. They will never have peace. but they exert quite a bit of force.
Sincerely,
Fred Albury
