Now that the dirty truth of how we treat prisoners of war comes out, further fueling the hate of Iraqi insurgents, I'm sure the reports from Iraq are going to get better and better.

Reading about Nick Berg and the video of him getting beheaded on tape really creeps me out. He wasn't even a soldier. He cleaned communication towers for a living. They hate us all, and we're not giving them a reason not to.

I don't see how the Iraqi people are going buy into a liberal democracy in this fashion.

I know a couple from Iraq who think the whole thing is blown out of proportion, of course her father was tortured and killed in one of Saddam's prisons and he was a prisoner for a short while himself.

They are very greatful to be rid of Saddam and grieve every time they hear an American is killed over there as if it were a member of their family. They feel like what was done in those pictures is nothing compared to what has been done to some of the American "heroes" and nothing compared to what was done to my friend and several of their family members while in Saddam's prisons.
