Soldiers horrifically abuse Iraqis

[Valandil]

Not sure which part... but a part of me thinks that all those involved should be court-martialed and tried for treason (on grounds that they've made life REALLY rough on any Americans who happen to be captured - AND that they've definitely helped incite many other Iraqis to take up the fight against our troops). That those found guilty should be marched out and given a very public execution. That the units which had been serving guard duty in these prisons should be disbanded - and those soldiers/guards sent to where the insurgency is the strongest. That those who oversaw and gave good reports should be removed from their jobs.

That's what they deserve anyway. It would show the Iraqis and all others in the Middle East that we're quite serious about NOT going about things this way. Further, I don't think it would ever be a problem again - if we made that kind of statement.

But then there's the merciful part of me. I just don't know...

The Iraqis who were treated like this should be given amnesty - released with a cash compensation, told in no uncertain terms that we sincerely apologize for what was done to them and that we condone it in no way whatsoever - and that they had best not join any insurgency themselves.
