It is a fact that not all detainees were involved in a terrorists group...they were just at the wrong place and wrong time or they were "sold out" by the warlords in order for them to make some cash.

What about the innocent men who languished in those prisons for years without a trial or conviction?

If they would cooperate with the military they would be freed much sooner. Unfortunately, war is a necessary function of our fallen world, to prevent the bad guys from taken over.

The US record in Japan and Germany produced good results and restored those countries to their own governance. If the fools in the media and congress had the intelligence of our past leaders Iraq would be well on its way to being restored. Treason is fashionable these days.

For once, I agree with you about something.

On the part of the detainees maybe they had some of these supposed injuries before they were detained. Let's not forget Mr. Hussein and his wonderful treatment of his citizens.

Cheesestix,

What do you base your opinion on that those articles were only half true? If there was more than one source with the same findings, would you believe they were true?

There have been hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed since the invasion of Iraq and millions more displaced. I wonder how they feel about life now compared to life under Saddam?

BTW, how's the garden?

PO might..."Mega Dittos" is a saying that his listeners use. I use to listen to him everyday, but that was years ago.

However, doctors and mental health professionals stated they could link the prisoners' claims of torture while in U.S. detention to injuries documented by X-rays, medical exams and psychological tests.

"The level of the time, thoroughness and rigour of the exams left me personally without question about the credibility of the individuals," said Dr. Allen Keller, one of the doctors who conducted the exams, in an interview with the Associated Press.
"The findings on the physical and psychological exams were consistent with what they reported."

All 11 former detainees reported being subjected to:

-Stress positions, including being suspended for hours by the arms or tightly shackled for days.

-Prolonged isolation and hooding or blindfolding, a form of sensory deprivation.

-Threats against themselves, their families or friends from interrogators or guards.

-Ten said they were forced to be naked, some for days or weeks.

-Nine said they were subjected to prolonged sleep deprivation.

-At least six said they were threatened with military working dogs, often while naked.

-Four reported being sodomized, subjected to anal probing, or threatened with rape.[/I] Click on link to read the full artice: http://news.aol.ca/article/Guantanam...s-Show/260796/

Brother,

At the end of the day, we only see what we allow ourselves to see. I found it interesting that you highlighted the sentence you did and ignored the following paragraph that substantiated the prisoners claims of torture and abuse.

All we can do is trust in God and pray that his will be done.

God bless.

You wish that I did, though!

I thought they were called "Dittoheads". I didn't think the "Mega Dittos" was from his show.
