I agree with C4 Diesel on this one. The removal of sovereign immunity selectively from "enemy" nations sounds like something the members of congress did as a political stunt to gain favor for themselves.
I think that these POWs should be justly compensated for their suffering before any of the money goes to rebuilding or compensating any of the Iraqis tortured during the war. It is just wrong of our government to turn tail on these soldiers. I have particular disdain for the comment, "No amount of money can truly compensate these brave men and women for the suffering that they went through..." as a partial justification for giving them no money at all.
