"Styl Skinner: 'Iraq take prissonners of war from US side, when we free them they have 2 broken legs and a arm!!!!'
From what I understand, she was indeed in a hospital."
That hospital was a building that said hospital on it, not a hospital where lives are saved, there where no doctors in the building paxx...
it was a make shift torture chamber...
And JM33 I'll be on your team, just give a grenade launcher and weare ready to go

In one hand, I hear that she had been recued and said herself that she had been treated relatively OK, on the other hand I hear that story that somebody posted the link to the other day. The problem too is that I hear nowhere else a confirmation of that story. So it it true, is it not? I don't know. Plus, there is something in the way that that article is written that make it sound like a Harlequin novel.
I am sure the Irakis are quite capable of attrocities, they proved it in 1991, but I haven't heard a proof of it in this war so far. I keep expecting to read something about that, but I'm still waiting.

But just one thing occured to me. I remembered something about that link provided in the other thread, relating the story of that Iraki guy who risked his life to save the American woman soldier. Somethnig doesn't fit. Either, da_zman, your information isn't correct, or that article is really (like I tended to believe) a very cheap made up story.
You see, that article ( http://msnbc.com/news/895233.asp ) starts like this:
Mohammed, a gregarious 32-year-old Iraqi lawyer, went by the hospital in Nasiriyah one day last week to visit his wife, who worked there as a nurse, when he noticed the ominous presence of security agents.
Then, the next paragraph says:
"CURIOUS, HE asked around, and a doctor friend told him an American soldier was being held there. Something made him want to go see. The doctor took him to a first-floor emergency wing where he pointed out the soldier through a glass interior window — a young woman lying in a bed, bandaged and covered in a white blanket."
So, anyway. That is why I don't believe everything. They just don't match. Something is not true here. I don't know which, either what you heard da_zman is false, or this article is. But there are just too many things like this in this war, enough to not automatically believe everything.

I know you are trying to be objective, but the fact is you shouldn't always be. How can you grant skepticism to the US and the benefit of the doubt to Iraqis? I know of no POWs that were ever well-treated by the Iraqis, so to me it is far more odd to assume they are treating POWs well than to assume they aren't. I don't *need* any more proof of how they treat POWs, I have decades worth of evidence.
Sure, they might turn over a new leaf, but sadly when such things happen, scum bear the burden of proving that they aren't scum. I really don't care how that reflects on me. I don't value the lives of people who torture others. Not a quantitive comparison of value, I don't value them *at all*.

That doesn't make Iraq a wonderful place, far from it, but at least, on this specific matter, they are sort of almost OK.

That and the fact that military propaganda has been a part of every war, in every country, since modern communication exist. I don't see why this particular war should be any different.
