Shard - hypocrisy in the morning? there would be hypocrisy only if Iraq some how invaded America and did what is happening to them now and in Gulf War I to the US. Otherwise, they are the victims. Your what if scenario about the "cute little Jessica Lynch's" shows how the media and other propaganda machines have indoctirned you with fear, so much so that you try to make any excuses to justify American action. Speaking of Jessica Lynch, her injuries in combat where more than likey due to friendly fire from overhead planes. She wasn't even harmed by her captors. There are more than a few cases of reported rapes and other misconduct by American Troops on Iraqi females. You don't hear about it in the media at all because that would be "unpatriotic." Most of the troops in Iraq could have just as easily been working at your local fast food joint, they are not equppied to deal with a race or culture they no nothing about. I bet that you Shard would be more pissed off if someone spat in your Big Mac then if they mistreated these so called prisoners, most of which are detained for no reason.
