These Iraquis are our PRISONERS. That means that they have done something wrong that has forced us to incarcerate them.

With all due respect, what on EARTH are you talking about?
Did something wrong?
Yeah, they fought to defend their country, as ordered by their commanders, when the US Coalition invaded.
Sheesh... They are Prisoners of WAR, not criminals in the "felony" sense.

They are not "yours" at all.
Also, see the post below on over 25 deaths, including MURDER, of detainees in American custody.

Nonetheless, the term "abuse" should be used sparingly in the regards to criminals.

I don't really know what to say to this. Have you ever heard of the LAW? The GENEVA CONVENTION?
I think you need to better understand the issues before making such silly sweeping statements.

Lets face it, if they weren't fighting against us right now, they wouldn't have been in prison, now would they? And, on the other view of the subject, if we had just blown that little sand pit out of the ocean a year ago (like we rightly should have done), they certainly wouldn't have been in prison and wouldn't have been "abused".
