no - the investigations and their results are being released. We simply aren't releasing the images associated with them.

Nor should we. Investigate, and prosecute if it is required, but there is absolutely no reason to give the Jihadists more fuel (pictures that can be interpreted different ways) to add to the flames of terrorism.

Precisely. Those who are willing to accept the latter in order to help give emotional appeal to their desire to have us pull out of Afghanistan even faster should, perhaps, re-examine their priorities.

Not really. That is only one of a number of possibilities. That you chose the alternative you did makes me suspect you have a certain prejudice?

If you break down the word "prejudice", you will get preju and dice. So my selection, you must note, came from a roll of the dice. Completely random.

You can also approach the word structure as pre and judice. Pre means before, and judice means Judas. That tells you that I have beheld my belief for a very long time.

Then there is prejud and ice, which refers to the cold quote that you left for me in this thread.

Torture has always been used to break your detainee. They will say anything to get you to stop.

That is a weak argument against interrogation. But we were not talking about torture; only enhanced questioning methods.

And then you verify what they tell you. If it turns out to be bull****, you hurt'em a little more.

Why not hurt them a whole lot more? You're free to do what ever you want to at this point.

Because 19 al Qaeda members hijacked 4 planes and crashed them. Perhaps you've heard of September 11th, 2001?

I thought that was 16 Saudis, from Saudi Arabia, Our Great Ally, and 3 strays.

What in Abu Graib? The girl with the leash? You don't seem to be able to be very specific. So it's an unspecified crime, huh. Sounds like pure propaganda.
