Whilst I personnally have no problem with the terrorists in Cuba being treated in this way . . I am not aware of any soldiers not doing as ordered in guarding, feeding, looking after and transporting them.

Totally different situation, and totally different discussion. I'd suggest that G'bay is not against the Geneva convention because the prisoners there aren't POWs. You see it differently, and that is alright with me.
Oh, and there's one slight difference between what the US did and what the Iraqis did: the US *independent media* showed some captured people to illustrate a story about them; the Iraqi *state television* showed interviews with the US soldiers for propaganda purposes. But I can understand how you might disagree with that too...
Anyway, back to the thread, shall we? About troops and their robotic/non-robotic mind, not about G'bay or Iraq.
