"This act illustrates the kind of enemy we are facing. They are subhuman, and in my opinion deserve no special consideration if captured." DougR
Are all the prisoners in Abu Ghraib this kind of subhuman enemy? All the Iraqis? When you see one how can you tell if he's subhuman or just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Assuming he's not decapitating someone at the time.
Labeling people "subhuman" and treating them that way is one of the roads to hell.
We should treat all people -even villians - decently, not only for their sake but for our sake.
