You got to keep in mind another factor is these Iraqi POW's are captured many times from areas where US Soldiers have been ambushed or killed. So the troops handling these guys are pissed the fuck off about losing their buddies and want payback.
Like I've posted before I went through the Vietnam era and a lot of family friends came back with stories so horrific that they couldn't even talk about it without breaking down or going into mental relapses. The US troops were blowing away villages, little kids, napalming people, torturing the Viet Cong prisoners, etc. And the NVC were doing the same thing to the South Vietnamese and our troops.
But yeh the Intel guys have no compassion for POW's. Some of the stories I head from Nam veterans that witnessed CIA guys extracting info were as gruesome as anything Saddam did to his people.
