    Did you see the references in the links above with regard to tailoring the techniques?

    Torture is illegal and thing is that the British and the US cannot expect fair treatment for their soldiers/pows/citizens as long as they break the law as per policy.

    Again - nothing that that proves that the coalition have been instructed on identical methods of humiliating arabs, there is a lot of opinion there, of that there is no doubt.

    By and large we never expected fair treatment of our soldiers/POWs/citizens at the hands of other nations. Primarily because most nations we found ourselves in conflict with lived to a significantly different set of values than we do. Significantly less humane to be precise. We actually expected harsh treatment if we were unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of opponents. Falling into the hands of the IRA, for example, meant certain torture and murder.

    I don't see you mentioning prisoner abuses from the first gulf war. But then they were US/UK soldiers and airmen so beating the crap out of them on a daily basis by Iraqi personnel was perfectly acceptable. At least in your eyes.

    Indeed. Perhaps some of us don't see these as crimes though, when they are commited by terrorist scum who so bravely blow unarmed men, women and children to pieces, in cold blood.

    Well said. I'm sure there are others who have also noticed this trait, and agree 100% with your comments.

    Israel seems a good example that springs to mind...

    Off Topic, but I like your sig Shogun.

    William Shakespeare, Prophecy of the dying John of Gaunt in The Tragedy of King Richard II (1594), Act 2, Scene 1, I believe. Although correct me if I am wrong.
