I wrote to my two Senators and my congressman and POTUS about this very subject when the story became public weeks ago.
I said that as soon as terrorists or Sodamn Insane sympathizers got wind of it that it would cause immense and irreparable harm to our efforts to rebuild Iraq. Well, now we are reaping the fruit of that monstrous mistake.
Also, he has a quote from the Washington Times from LTC (Ret) Puckett, that ought to be a real eye opener to members of the "but we can't lower ourselves to their level (in itself an absurd claim, equating scaring a terrorist with feeding people to plastic shredders)"-brigades:"All of the intelligence witnesses regularly expressed the fact that detainees bragged they know they don't have to talk because we can't do anything to them," attorney Neal Puckett said in an interview yesterday.
The lawyer said once the detainees are released, they spread the word among Saddam's followers that they can stay mum and not be punished.
I want some stupid JAG officer's head on a friggin' pike.
"The bad Iraqis are ID'd by human sources," said Mr. Puckett, who spent a week in Iraq investigating the case. "The Iraqis who are ID'd as bad guys and questioned all know we can't touch them. We can't even so much as threaten them."...and, as a result, the fruits of our intelligence-gathering efforts approach nil, leading to more of our soldiers getting killed in attacks that could have been avoided, if only we didn't have our hands tied behind our backs by treasonous REMFs.
But what the heck, we get to feel really good about ourselves and how much better we are than them, and what can possibly be more important than FEEEEEEWINGS, right?
Tell that to the relatives of the soldiers that your masturbatory halo-polishing will get killed, why don't you, because I'm not interested.
