I feel as though they're trying new ideas now. Nothing they're doing is really working, so...hey, let's put them in a box and see what happens!Meistro said:I dunno what the US is still doing there. This is getting ridiculous.

and i like ur idea jasmeet it seems like they need a dose of their own medicine to realize how other people are impacted by their policies ....but instead can we load them onto a slave ship and bomb it b/c seriously all i thought bout when i saw this was the slave ships....and as ranjit said it is a "mockery out of the constitution"Jasmeet said:I feel as though they're trying new ideas now.

This is not something the Bush administration just came up with. I'm not defending them, but this is the standard-type detainee accomodations that the military has used since WWII, and I find it intriguing how so many people paid such little attention to the whole detention/POW thing until now. In reality, some US prision confinement cells are not much larger than this. The prisioners are not supposed to be confortable. I don't agree with torture, but If the prisioners were comfortable, then they would be less likely to provide information, which is one of the main reasons for detaining a suspect. BTW, the POW training that our Special Forces Soldiers go through here in the U.S. (SERE training) is far worse than this. How pathetic and small-minded it is to look at a photo of a detention cell in Iraq, and immediately connect it to one's odium of the Bush administration.
