Oh sheet.
Yeah, the guys made a wrong turn heading to a maintenance assignment. If the Iraqis have any sense, they will treat those prisoners fairly, like we have been treating their prisoners. God help them if they cross the line.[/quote:70c12]

They executed some of the prisoners already. According to people who have seen the tape. Gunshot wounds to the head.[/quote:70c12]


after hearing and seeing that, its hard for me to put on the news now
if that doesnt make you pro war i dont know what will

What a shame. Those guys were executed...you can see from the pics that they were deliberately shot after they were captured. Thats the problem with fighting a country like Iraq....they have no morals. You can bet that the Iraqi POW's are being treated fairly.
Those pics were shown by that arab news station on purpose as to shake the coalition moral while boosting the moral of Iraqi soldiers. It certainly was a tough day for the coalition but they'll press on and get the job done.

Whatever your political views, you should pray for the innocent victims and soldiers.

The media!! its the fucking media!!!
get them the fuck out of iraq.

If it wasnt for them being everywhere, the iraqis would have nothing to gain by publicly showing the prisoners - because noone would be watching.

I beleive that if there was not such huge media coverage, some of those prisoners would be alive. but they KNOW we are watching.

Did anyone give a shit when the SAS bravo two zero soldiers were captured in the first gulf?? No! because noone really knew about it at the time.

I am all for media coverage to us informed, but they should be kept away from the front lines.
oh......but that wouldnt get very high ratings. how ignorant of me.
