#2 This is the standard prison scenario being played out in Iraq. The corrections officers union line is being followed to the "t" here.

I don't know what happened, but the union line is:
1. Report any injury to you, no matter how slight.
2. All force used is always the minimum necessary.
3. All prisoners are injured through their own actions or in accidents.
4. We need more officers to maintain order.

The urge to smack someone that one extra time is often irresistable. It's a very fine line and you often are only in control by intimidating your prisoners, and force is intimidation. It's easy for us on the outside, AI especially, to be critical, but it is also easy for guards to cross the line.

#3 I am sure the Arabs involved here were respectful of the Female guards and never tried anything with them! BLAH! Nothing gets a prisoners attention faster thatn bitch-slapping one of them for busting your balls. Yes sometimes you have to establish dominance over your prisoners.

"A bloody nose and a twisted arm, and our kids are facing prison time?" said Edmondsonâs mother, Linda Edmondson. "In a time of war, itâs ridiculous. She could have shot them, if she wanted to hurt someone."

Amen.
