ACause, you are excusing murder while in custody. The "accused" had no conviction for any crime, yet were sometimes beaten to death. Maybe you are also in favor of the new rapists in Saddam's "rape rooms." http://www.volconvo.com/forums/index.php?s...t=0&#entry38395

Will you support any crime if it is in the name of America? Soldiers are obligated by law and by common decency to refuse orders to beat, torture, rape or kill those in custody. Yet these abuses were occurring regularly as a result of US policy in Abu Ghraib and other US detention centers.

You lied in saying the prisoners were captured in combat. They were captured in sweeps and in home invasions. You, sir, are full of opinions, but debate demands facts. And torture has been debated extensively within top US policy circles. Check the above thread for some citations of facts in this case.
