Should we torture children for liberation?
Tough New Tactics by U.S. Tighten Grip on Iraq Towns
By DEXTER FILKINS

Published: December 7, 2003

ABU HISHMA, Iraq, Dec. 6 — As the guerrilla war against Iraqi insurgents intensifies, American soldiers have begun wrapping entire villages in barbed wire.

In selective cases, American soldiers are demolishing buildings thought to be used by Iraqi attackers. They have begun imprisoning the relatives of suspected guerrillas, in hopes of pressing the insurgents to turn themselves in.

Maybe we should continue along these lines and torture the imprisoned relatives in the town square. That ought to teach them to accpt the freedom we have given them... right?

1. They'll have it on Pay-per-View within a year

the US voting affluent classes will demand it.

And if you object, then you are clearly with the terrorists and have no sympathy for those who died in the 911 events.
