...the rest of the world gets worked up, as I am, about the four Americans who were trapped, burned alive, dragged through the streets, and hung from a trestle. Those Iraqi prisoners got off easy. "Please" doesn't get much info from hardened terrorists.

My Dad once told me that General Stillwell had a problem with prisoners of a certain stripe. He then buried some of those prisoners with a piece of pork to negate their going to heaven with 72 ladies of the night and all that happiness. The word got out and US forces experienced fewer problems. That happened in WWII for all of the younger readers.
