Iraqi Prisoner Abuse
Though the Bush Administration apologized for U.S. abuse of Iraqi prisoners, some feel the coalition's reputation has suffered irreparable damage. What do you think?
Donald Stiles,
Systems Analyst
"They wanted to provide Iraq with a smooth transition to democracy. We couldn't just plunge them into a non-torture-based society with no time to adjust."
Ricky Thomas,
Cartoonist
"I’m sure Bush was deeply saddened by the fact that American soldiers were stupid enough to document their acts of cruelty."
Donna Amundson,
Dental Assistant
"Some people want to make military prisons into country clubs— instead of the S&M clubs they are now."
Charles Wolf,
Revenue Agent
"Thank God Saddam's in jail so he can't commit atrocities like this anymore."
Joseph
Spagnolia,
Fabricator
"It's not like they made a 70-year-old woman get down on all fours, then climbed on her back and called her a donkey. What? Oh, no."
Sheila Wooster,
Underwriter
"If we hadn’t tortured those prisoners, we could never have achieved the post-war stability Iraq is currently enjoying."
