Originally posted by PatrickHenry, 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. |
Ahmm.excuse me..will you kindly pointed out where I excused murder?
Now...like any military we have bad apples..what more do you want..those that have committed crimes against Iraqis at the prison were apprehended, relieved of duty, charged, and now convictions are coming down the pike...I fail to see what you think I'm defending?
And no..I did not lie...fully a third of the prisoners in that wing according to the MP unit stationed there stipulate that the wing where the abuse occured were either known terrorists or insurgents.
