This is precisely some of the reason why we will have more war dead and why will never "win" in Iraq. This, and of course, our use of torture (which autopsy reports prove the US has tortured detainees to death), which is fully embraced by VP Cheney, who wants to have a special "torture clause" for the CIA in the McCain Anti-Torture bill thrown in just for shits and giggles. |
