How we should REALLY, treat captured insurgents.

None of this Abu Gharib, and G. Bay BS.

We should just do it the old fashion way.

First, send them to our Concen- eeer...Re-Education Camps.

Give the captured Insurgents Adequate Care, while pumping them full of American Propaganda. So yes, there will be no mistreatment, but we still pump them full of Propaganda. Every day, they'll just spend all day being told about how "America is great", and how we are "Bringing Freedom to Iraq.", and all this stuff. They'll side with us lickity split. It worked in WWII, it'll work now.

So you want to treat them like a member of the American public?

Okay, I've had a voice conference witht he spirits in my head. They all agree, that it depends on the insurgent. If they killed, then they deserve imprisonment, if not death. However, if they've done lesser crimes, they may have a chance to be "Turned over," so to speak, to "our side."

If that doesn't float your boat - pretend the insurgents are manatees.

XD.

But still, they wouldn't be any prisoner mistreatment, we'd pump them full of Propaganda every day, and they would be treated well.

Soon, they would start liking us, and maybe can form an "Iraqi Free Forces" or something. Of course, they're still technically part of us though. :D

Propaganda is a double-edged sword it seems. I mean truly, it would require a lot of time and effort. A fundimentalist (of any nature) is a hard nut the crack, so to get them to like what they're against...would be a long shot, and you'd have to worry about ones that simply play along. Only to backstab later on.

Or youc ould just throw them in shallow water and drive a boat over them (damned manatees).

Actually, threatening to dip our bullets in pig's blood will do very well to scare the hell out of fellow Muslims.

They deserve it if they are trying to murder others anyway.

Exactly. Learn from the British, Colodia. They figured out a way to piss both the muslims and the hindus off on a matter concerning bullets and it ended in the Sepoy Rebellion...

And if they've just had the bad luck to be picked up in a sweep, or purchased for a bounty from middle eastern warlords looking to turn a profit? What should we do with them then?

Execute them. Most of them were raised in terorist school on why America and Israel are evil, try to re-educate them is useless.

Coat the bullets in pig fat and force-feed them bacon for their last meal. Animals.

No need to be better. These people have no fear of death, its time we teach them some. Put some fear into their minds.

My second idea is to force them to watch every episode of Painting with Bob Ross until they want to kill themselves.

This is the first time I have heard this phrased in such a way.
Are you saying that it would be morally wrong? Or am I misinterpreting you?

I somehow doubt that slaughtering a group of them is going to make those who are already fanatic enough to not care about death fear it any more. All it will do is turn some of the lies that they believe about America into truths, and spur them on.

Insurgents should be treated for what they are, prisoners of war. If they commit war crimes than they should be tried at the ICC. That's it , that's all. Same with Americans who commit war crimes, take them all to the ICC.

No, you've heard me right. My argument is that we should screw the Geneva Convention's policies because our opponents doesn't give a damn about them. The USA was successful during the revolution because its fighters didn't engage in the same set standards which Europe had developed (i.e. drums, flags, decorative uniforms, etc.) Vietnam was lost for the same reason. The whole prisoner rights thing is just a representation of the whole on why America has been unsuccessful in all second half of the 20th century wars. Fighting fire with fire is the only way to win.

I sure all of the terrorrists hearing that we serve coffee and donuts every morning (sarcasm so don't wigout) ain't gonna make them fear terrorizing us. Hmmm. . . logic class again (or should I say modern morality). We bomb building, subways, etc and we live, get captured and no real punishment except for better conditions than a big desert or get captured and tortured. Hmmm. . . if I was a human what would I be more willing to accept??? Hmm...

We should decorate cells with as many objects as possible, like computers, books that promote America, iPods, fluffy matresses, and a McDonald's in every prison. This may sound like pampering criminals. I think this is a living hell for them. But if you ask me, this is the most effective form of re-education: showing tangible benefits.

If they can be taught hoW American and Israel are evil,

why can't we put them in Propaganda Re-Education Schools, and teach them to love America.

But Iraq never attacked you, you attacked them. It was Al-Qaeda that attacked you, Not Iraq. Saddam ran a very secular country, he and bin Laden didn't even like each other.

I have often thought it was the same as if Russia had attacked the USA and then you turned around and invaded China.. I don't really see what the difference in the situations would of been.

Plus if they died in the process at least they died for their cause in a cell and not killing my fellow countrymen in the battlefield. See so they still can keep their pride.
