A POW in a war zone - or in Cuba for that matter - is not afforded the same rights as somone in a civilian jail.

All of these people were guilty of mistreatment, orders or not. And they will be held accountable.

That's the difference between us and them - We punish people for doing this, while they do it.
I'm sorry, I just think it's all bullshit. War is war. It ain't pretty, it ain't nice and it ain't clean. If you have to tune someone up to get info that will save your life or the lives of others, so be it. If it takes more than a tune-up, that's what it takes.

You can't be PC when you're in a war. It don't work. Those insurgents aren't just gonna up and holds hands, sing songs and give us a reacharound if we ask nice. They're gonna blow themselves up and as many of us as they can when they do it. So why the fuck should we mollycoddle them? Were the beheadings so soon forgotten?
