I want to send *& Co to Iraq, have them all get down on their knees
in the middle of the square, where Saddams statue once stood, and apologize to the Iraqi people.

Let's start with the crimes in Abu Ghraib

2. I'd rather they be put in stockades
or whatever those things are that restrain them and leave their arms and heads secured through, and left in the middle of Baghdad for any Iraqi citizen to do anything they please with the criminal bastards.
They are NOT deserving of anything better than they have done (or had done) to anyone else.
Line up Rove, Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice, Powell and any other apologist that has supported the cover up of the crimes of these evil incarnates.

3. and then the International court will send them to the Iraqi prisons. Here
is a report from Human Rights Watch, on the current condition (under "Iraqi rule)

Rumsfeld surely did a good job training them!

Iraq: Torture Continues at Hands of New Government

Police Systematically Abusing Detainees

(Baghdad, January 25, 2005) -- Iraqi security forces are committing systematic torture and other abuses against people in detention, Human Rights Watch said in a new report released today.

The 94-page report, The New Iraq? Torture and Ill-treatment of Detainees in Iraqi Custody, documents how unlawful arrest, long-term incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment of detainees (including children) by Iraqi authorities have become routine and commonplace. Human Rights Watch conducted interviews in Iraq with 90 detainees, 72 of whom alleged having been tortured or ill-treated, particularly under interrogation.

While insurgent forces have committed numerous unlawful attacks against the Iraqi police, this does not justify the abuses committed by Iraqi authorities, Human Rights Watch said.

“The people of Iraq were promised something better than this after the government of Saddam Hussein fell,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Human Rights Watch’s Middle East and North Africa Division. “The Iraqi Interim Government is not keeping its promises to honor and respect basic human rights. Sadly, the Iraqi people continue to suffer from a government that acts with impunity in its treatment of detainees.”

Methods of torture cited by detainees include routine beatings to the body using cables, hosepipes and other implements. Detainees report kicking, slapping and punching; prolonged suspension from the wrists with the hands tied behind the back; electric shocks to sensitive parts of the body, including the earlobes and genitals; and being kept blindfolded and/or handcuffed continuously for several days. In several cases, the detainees suffered what may be permanent physical disability.
