How about freedom from ending up in a mass grave?
Freedom not to have your ears cut off?
Freedom from electric shocks?
Freedom from being tortured if you didn't perform well in the Olympics?
Freedom from being forced to invade a neighboring country?
Freedom from starvation?
Freedom from rape?
Freedom from religious oppression?
I guess they don't matter. The "reaction" from the right that gives you such glee is actually just a reaction to how much weight you seem to give to an obviously biased story.
Was this guy trying to incite a riot that may have killed the soldiers that detained him? Nahhh that couldn't be it. Should the soldiers stand by while someone encourages others to kill them? Should they not protect themselves if there's a chance that this guy has a bomb strapped to himself, a grenade, or is signalling others by his actions?
If an Iraqi is temporarily restrained in order to improve the chances that an American survives the conflict then I'M ALL FOR IT.
