The US is at war…undeclared perhaps, but at war all the same. If forcing Iraqui prisoners to wear women’s underpants results in worthwhile intelligence,so be it. Or how about Al-Queda sawing offpeople’s heads? I truly find it amazing that there is such concern for these unlucky prisoners…while nobody says anything about the murder of 3500 innocent people on 9/11. When amnest international says something about Saddam’s death camps, perhaps I’ll listen. Otherwise, yack all you want…every intelligence service in the world uses somewhat unsavory methods to elicit confessions and information…the German Police murdered the Baader-Meinhoff gang in their prison cells. The British MI-5 murdered IRA agents in Spain, and the French secret service has committed extrajudicial killings as well. Those ofyou WITHOUT sin, cast the first stone! 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/americans-how-do-you-feel-about-the-prisoner-issue-now/251780)._
