We would be wise to be prepared for any eventuality. If I were counseling the US military and government, I would suggest the wisdom of the Word of God: Rom 12:20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM; IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS UPON HIS HEAD." Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torture is something we, the USA was suppose to be against and above. We are hippocrates, and I am so grieved, we aren't the good guys. There are only degrees of bad here. We let Darfur happen because we are in bed with the Sudan, just because they hosted Bin Laden for 5 years. Shame on us are hands are just as bloody as the terrorists. AFX News Limited US acknowledges torture at Guantanamo; in Iraq, Afghanistan - UN 06.24.2005, 11:37 AM GENEVA (AFX) - Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said. The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to the UN Committee against Torture, said a member of the ten-person panel, speaking on on condition of anonymity. 'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said. 'They they will have to explain themselves (to the Committee). Nothing should be kept in the dark,' he said. UN sources said this is the first time the world body has received such a frank statement on torture from US authorities. The Committee, which monitors respect for the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, is gathering information from the US ahead of hearings in May 2006. Signatories of the convention are expected to submit to scrutiny of their implementation of the 1984 convention and to provide information to the Committee. The document from Washington will not be formally made public until the hearings. newsdesk@afxnews.com http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...2-23109,00.html Edited October 26, 2006 by Sweet Servent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real torture is something VERY DIFFERENT than what the U.S. is doing with these terrorists. Please remember the Geneva Conventions were enacted for the PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS. Soldiers are required to be in uniform and clearly distinguishable from the civilians so that an army does not have to indiscriminately kill everybody in its path. When these fellows refuse to wear uniforms, they are DELIBERATELY endangering non combatants. I say they deserve whatever they get. We ARE NOT torturing them. Prejudicial interrogation techniques have not been used, and frankly are of limited value. We ought to shoot these guys up with some of our new drugs, and have 'em spill all they know. For their willingness to endanger civilians, they deserve WHATEVER they get. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We let Darfur happen because we are in bed with the Sudan, just because they hosted Bin Laden for 5 years. What? t. Please read below. (CBS) It hardly seems possible, but the genocide in Darfur is taking a turn for the worse. The government in Sudan has launched a new offensive, maybe trying to finish what it started three years ago. As correspondent Scott Pelley reports, more than 300,000 people are dead and more than two million are refugees in the Sahara. To understand what is happening in Darfur, 60 Minutes came upon on the story of a boy named Jacob. We know him only because his name is on schoolbooks found in the ashes of his home. Jacob's village was wiped out. Our team saw his books in a museum. We didn't know whether Jacob was alive or whether we could find him. But we decided to try. Our search turned into a remarkable journey into a place we were forbidden to travel looking for a boy swept up in the 21st century's first genocide. ________________________________________ The search for Jacob began at the United States Holocaust Memorial in Washington D.C. Dedicated to never letting genocide happen again, it now finds itself with fresh evidence in a new exhibit. John Prendergast brought the remains from Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
