#1 Shit. I was hoping it would be more in the vein of shooting first and then questioning the corpse. I've lost my sense of humor - Apologies.

#2 I wonder what cabal of theoretical psychologists in the bowels of the Pentagon came up with this, perhaps with the aid of their colleagues down the hall at the voodoo anthropology section?

#3 My question - will it make the arrests harder to carry out? If not, then I can support it, or at least accept it.

#4 Have I got this straight, when we go to arrest a terrorist who has just blown up a couple of our guys we should cow tow to their culture and not embarass them in front of their families. Perhaps, we should send them back to the states to apologize to the families of the soldiers they have killed and give them a medal or something?

#5 This fucking kind of shit is just going to get more of our boys killed. Meet your Nam Kerrys of the next century.

#6 I would suggest this cultural sensitivity training: give up and get your face on the ground with your hands behind your back, ready to be arrested, or you'll cause our God-fearing, western civilization soldiers to feel bad after they cap your ignorant ass. You wouldn't want to inflame the GI's sensitivities, now, would we?

#7 We're OCCUPYING the country, not being "guests". What has to be done, has to be done, and if more people want to become insurgents as a result, then the solution is to KILL THEM when they make an attempt to ply their new trade.

If there were any reasons why things have been rather slow to be straightened out, this unnecessary inclination toward "sensitivity" would surely be one of them.

#8 You're forgetting that this only applies to arresting terrorists....not emptying the belt from the SAW into them and then beating the dead corpse with your E-tool.
