This kind of treatment also sickened me at the time. All I can say is I hope things are changed now that Obama is president. He seems to care about human rights and now we should see proper a translation of interrogating people without the abuse.

Why are they capturing these people and interrogating them? Isnt this stuff against the Geneva Convention ? Do they think everyone is a damned enemy? No wonder we are hated in this world.

Bottom line, you all have relevant comments on torture and the like. But, are you going after the real culprits??? Does the President of the U.S.of A, the Congress The People?????? Or, IS IT THE GENERALS? REMEMBER JERRY BRESSLER’S “WHAT IF WE HAD A WAR AND NOBODY CAME”!!!!!Wouldn’t that be nice. Iraq did want us (no matter what you hear). They’re very wealthy. We’re not. Our monies are depleted because of this. News flashes now say “we’re going to charge them back! How????It’s after the fact. Are they going to gibr us a return on gas allowance for our equipment! I think not. BUT MORE IMPORT….HOW CAN YOU RESTOR 4000 PLUS US SONS AND DAUGHTERS??? YOU CANNOT!!! WRITE YOU CONGRESS PEOPLE. THAT’S WHY THEY’RE THERE, THAT’S WHAT THEY PROMISED AND THAT WHY THEY WERE ELECTED. just write to them and not strangers (get it?)/ WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OUR WONDERFUL(?) NEIGHBOR CANADA WOULD SELL FROM THEIR PIPELINE TO CHINA, BEFORE US???? ‘METHINKS THEY DON’T LOVE US ANYMORE”!. Canada’s economy, oil/gas supply, healthcare, and the lack of 4000 plus of their future are still alive. thank goodness!! Nuff said. WRITE, WRITE, WRITE your congress reprentatives NOW, PLEASE. Everbodies voice is supposed to count or I am I too Naive????

Blah, blah blah, blah, blah. What difference does all of the above mean to the quest at hand????? The President isnt really the commander-and-chief. The real commanders, THE GENERALS ARE!!! tHAT’S THE BOTTOM AND HOW CAN WE UNINSTALL THIS PROBLEM????? eVERY VOICE COUNTS. tAKE THE TIME TO E-MAIL YOU SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES, NOW PLEASE!!!! The clock is ticking and we’re running out of time in the economy and national security. We’re going bankrupt and wonderful young kids have to stop volenteering to die by useless causes!!!!!! Their not defending our country. Was Sassam the real culprit??? I think not. Each country has to make it’s own government policies. We can’t make ever country with no democracy our clones!!!! We are not the watch dogs of the world!!!!! There usrd to be a internet game “Where in the world is Carmen Santiago?????Who cares!!!!!! Where in the world is Osama Ben Laden?!!!! Remember Viet Nam??? What did that do for US??? iT MADE OUR BEAUTIFUL AND LOVED YOUNG MEN DRUG ADDICTS OR WORSE MORTALITIES AND THE GENERALS RICH (by accident). Remember Viet Nam and contact your congressmen/women. If you e;ected them, make them accountable about our current delimas!!! We have no monies or oil for BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. wE’RE BROKE AND THE THE ARAB REPUBLIC IS NOT!!! I love it, Congress is going to charge back Iraq for oil and gas us by us to support their cause. THEY CAN AFFORD TO!! Will they?…..I THINK NOT. THEIR USING US WITH EMOTIONAL BLACK-MAIL BECAUSE THEY CAN. THEY SAY THEY CAN DO ITON THEIE OWN. fine…..DO IT!!!! A N D …..SELL US SOME OIL. CANDAS SELLING THEIRS TO CHINA. NONE LEFT FOR THEIR BELOVED NEIGHBORS, THE UNITED STATES??? their(canada) economy, used to be a joke. %30 percent less than ours!!!! Now they oil, China as a best friend aand terrific healthcare!!!(something to be said for socialized medicine “EHHHHH?”.

Oh goodness, of course this makes sense. Lets give them steak dinners, and sit down with them at the fireside and have a chat. I am SURE that they will see the errs of their ways after they have massacred our men, woman and children. I have NO doubt that they will never again want to shed the blood of Americans if we give them every Constitution right of the Americans and make sure we “don’t hurt their feelings or their precious bodies. Of course that is the answer…..OH GOOD GRIEF IS THIS NOT INSANE!!!!

How can the people take the liberties away from those who have spilled blood doing the work that no one want to admit has to be done to ensure the worlds “cheeks and balances ” … When your ok with blowing yourself up and taking out woman and children then by all means you and your friends should get the full treatment !!!

Based on some of the entries, here’s how the new terrorist interrogation guide should go:
1. Ask niceley if the person is a terrorist or if they are making or know of any terrorist plans.
2. If they answer no, ask them again – perhaps giving a compliment to them prior to asking the question.
3. Wait until after dinner to ask them again. This time, strike up some conversations regarding family, friends, work, etc. Then, ask them again of their terrorist plans.
4. If they deny knowing anything or deny being a terrorist, then it must be true – let them go.
