I tend to agree.

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.

Before any money goes to rebuilding? Why?

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.

While I do agree that it is wrong of our government to turn their backs on the soldiers and they surely sufferred greatly, $1 Billion dollars in payback seems a bit excessive.
