is it the same manual that the Bush Admin uses also?

If you really understood what these pictures stood for and knew what these terrorist do to people, you would not be making comments like this.

No one in our nation's government would burn people with torches, drill through a person's hand, or use a meat cleever on someone. But yet these are the type of people we are dealing with in Iraq and Afghanistan and yet some, if not many americans want us to treat them humane and with respect after capturing them. I hope we shot them every chance we get. They are sick people and yet you can make a comment like this.

So many Americans don't understand what we are up against and would rather run then fight. What a message to give the terrorist.

Right Connie, you and your right-wing friends are the only people on the planet who truly "understand" the situation. It's simply not possible to disagree with you and have any modicum of understanding.

It is up to us to be better than those who drill holes through people's hands, etc. "Shooting them every chance we get," whatever the hell that means, doesn't achieve that. Does "every chance we get" include in front of their innocent children? Do we just walk into their homes and blast away because we think they're guilty of something?

Are you in favor of getting rid of the justice system in this country too, or just not applying the same rules when it's evil foreign folk? Should the police just go ahead and shoot an abortion clinic bomber, for example, rather than putting him or her on trial? That's also a form of terrorism.

The terrorists aren't the only sick people out there.
