Here's where all this prisoner abuse stuff is heading...Saddam Hussein himself has rights and feelings too and should be released...maybe even compensated for his suffering...did you see how we humiliated him in front of the world?....Bush 43 is going to be seen as going farther than Bush 41 in taking over the country, but not having the balls to do the ultimate deed and put Saddam to death without trial.

Saddam Lawyer Says Access to Client Denied

I mean after all, it seems like the ICRC's reports have to do with those who ran Saddam's regime:

The report did not specify who the detainees were, but an official who has discussed the document with ICRC officials told The Associated Press that they include many from the Pentagon's 55 most-wanted suspects in a ``deck of cards'' the U.S. military released during the war that ousted Saddam last year.

``Since June 2003 over a hundred 'high-value detainees' have been held for nearly 23 hours a day in strict solitary confinement in small concrete cells devoid of daylight,'' said the report, which was given to coalition forces in February.

Even Donald Rumsfeld was pushed into suggesting that these abused prisoners should be compensated. Why not Saddam as well?

This is a war...anyone on the opposing side who either picks up a gun or commands people to pick up a gun is automatically guilty and the death penalty is the only sentence.

Here's another interesting statement about the ICRC report:

It said some coalition military intelligence officers estimated that ``between 70 percent and 90 percent of the persons deprived of their liberty in Iraq had been arrested by mistake.

Can you imagine these officers admitting this to the ICRC? Are these the same officers that are trying to cover-up the abuse? This seems fishy.
