Quite a lot of them, yes. How do you determine which are which without hearings, let alone trials? Torture maybe an answer, but it is a very, very bad one.Originally posted by Daisy:

Is that what you really think? You honestly believe that the ones we are holding as prisoners are fine, upstanding Iraqis who were defending their homeland form the imperialist Americans?
It's been documented that lot of the people held in prison were not combatants of any kind, just ordinary people who happened to be in the wrong place or who happened to own land that someone else wanted so they were falsely turned it. One of the justifications I've heard for torture is the pressure of time - do they have time to figure out who is who before?
It's not a joke. We invaded a country that posed no immediate or near-term threat to us. Scores of thousands of people have died as a result. Thousands upon thousands have been mutilated - and that's just collateral damage. It seems as though you want to justify that somehow, to make it right in your own eyes by pretending that "they" all deserve whatever "they" get - if "they" get something horrendous, "they" must deserve it. </font>[/QUOTE]Id like to see this documentation.You gotta be kidding me!!!
