US Interrogator talks openly about needless torture of innoc

[tattypatty]

What a fuckhead the interviewer is . Didn't know there was a Fox channel in England.

The main point here is the Geneva COnvention only applies to active military forces representing a government! The terrorists running around Iraq blowing themselves up are not soldiers and hence they do not receive the same treatment. Lets also remember that terrorists manuals call that when captured scream to the press that you are being tortured, and why, because they know how stupid and politically correct the media is and they would believe what they want.

If the tree starts off crooked you will need all kinds of work to straighten it out.

If you start a paper off wrong you will need plenty of revisions to get the message across.

If you start a war for the wrong reasons, then you may also need desperate tactics to win.

We should only use "legal" methods of toture on the insugents such as: Lumpy bedding in thir cots, cold showers, 1-ply toilet paper and the infamous 1st grade tickle torture. I know they would be just as considerate with our troops.

[jdircks]

haha, he said 'terrogation.

[patriot2k7]

These prisinors arent part of an Army, or a militia. There just ragheads trying to shoot at Americans.

[sysarchitect]

These "Ragheads" are Human Beings, and you can't treat them all like killers, or else you'll become an evil person that kills everybody indiscriminantly. These are people just like you and they deserve a normal life

[phillipgaley]

Aren't you using just too broad a brush for anything to be put forward as reasonable comment--and, should we have gone to Iraq, in the 1st place?

But then if we hadn't, we would have had a much worse unemployment problem, so, . . . I don't know, . . . it's tough either way you go, . . .

He handles the commentator with great finesse and manages to get his message across despite the news programs attempts to discourage him and cut him off. We had a similar situation here in Utah. Marshall Thompson an Iraq vet walked the state to try and spread the truth about the war and the fact that the soldiers believe the war is wrong and they need to come home. He tried to meet with Utah Senators and Congressmen but was unsuccessful. Why????

[alexvegas]

Wow, good on him for coming clean. This is huge, it needs to be covered far more. The pentagon issued them illegal instructions! I hate how the presenter almost accused him of lying!

[happychef229]

I believe the same. at least he has the decency to tell the rest of us, that torture of innocent civilians are still going on. the anchor seems hesitant, almost, of the U.S. interrogator speaking out. constant interruptions, how rude. peace.
