U.S. officials receive 5 fingers from Baghdad hostages

Ah yes, more love coming from the "religion or peace".

Time to arm the nukes.

STOP THE DRUGS! If the world came to an end there wouldn't be anyone left to do anything.

I bet that as a child you would hold your breathe to teach everyone a lesson.

This is horrible!

I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember it, but this reminds me of the incident in the 1970s where John Paul Getty's 16-year-old son was kidnapped in Italy and the kidnappers sent the boys severed ear to the father as "proof".

How can human beings do such things to other human beings?

I'm sorry lilacs, perhaps you are still a child.

Emma Smith is an idiot:

"...There has been an increase in the use of women as suicide bombers in Iraq. But Leighton said preliminary reports indicated that soldiers didn't believe the woman posed a threat of being a bomber. Rather "they were afraid she was signaling to someone that the convoy was going by."

Don't try to lump these together. Our soldiers are under an enormous amount of stress with potential bombers coming from all ages.

This shooting appeared to be accidental. I doubt that the amputation of the fingers was an accident.

who are you, Jane Fonda?

And there are Americans the think water boarding is such a terrible thing!!

We are dealing with people who have no souls. They kill women and children at will and we sit and argue about 10 minutes of running water across a killers face.

This is why we will lose America, because we are stupid!!

I recently saw a film (not by Michael Moore) where x servicemen who served in Iraq and Afghanistan were being interviewed called The Ground Truth. It says a heck of a lot….

We talk about waterboarding as if it were going to kill someone - Not!
However, how bout the peace loving muslms in Iraq (AlQaida) cooking of a familiy's loved one and putting an apple in their mouth and then forcing their family to eat the remains. True stories - verifiable and outrageous! Not only cooking a person, but forcing the family to eat them - to force them to their side. Nice!
Youz guyz need to get a grip on who we are dealing with here. They rip out throats; behead people; remove appendages; etc.... that is torture. Having folks strip down and taking pics of them may be degrading - but honestly what is worse??
Get a grip folks!

If the US had not invaded and occupied Iraq, those people that lost their fingers would not have been there.

For every action, there is a reaction.

The Iraqis are reacting to what they have been forced to live or die with since the US invasion. They are using whatever method they can to convince the US that they do not want us there, occupying their nation.

We are the occupiers – not the Iraqis. We are the invaders – not the Iraqis. It was our bombs that dropped on their homes, streets and bridges. We are responsible for the destruction of their cities and neighborhoods, and deaths many of their family members and friends.

The US invasion of Iraq was based on faulty information and lies. Yet, there are still people that believe that we can take a colossal mistake (invading a nation based on faulty information and lies) and turn that colossal mistake into something positive by enforcing our continued military presence with an illegal occupation of Iraq completely ignoring that most Iraqis do not want us there.

If the Iraqis or any nation had invaded the USA, each American would be expected to fight (to the death) to rid our nation of the invaders. Any American that supported the invaders would be treated as traitors. Still we expect the Iraqis welcome our invasion and accept our occupation of their nation without putting up a fight.

Iraq is reality 101…

220 million? how many claim they were in on it? didn't think so. there is NO SMOKING GUN and it would have been impossible to for all those involved in such a conspiracy to actually keep quiet. think of the logistical implications.
20 million CAN be wrong and often are. i means, there are 73 million americans under the age of 18

maybe but history does repeat itself. and history has proven that america lies its way into whatever it wants to do and the american people beleive anything the gov sez. i may be young but im not stupid not the mention alot of new yorkers over the age 21 feel the same. in fact 50% of new yorkers (not all minors)feel 911 was a plot by the US government. im sure there not all minors and as a smoking gun is concerned, in this case it was smoking metal beams that was hauled off by the government before anyone else could take a look at it.

Kathy, I brought that up because every one is crying over some mercenaries, yes I said mercenaries, they are paid private soldiers working for a contractor, who have been kidnapped. They are trained adults and they are there voluntarily.
I contrast this to what they are actually doing over there in Iraq - they are shooting children for sport. No one sheds a tear for the child, but everyone gets all weepy and starts waving their flags and affixing their yellow magnetic ribbons to their SUVs in support of killing even more women and children who have done nothing wrong.
I see something wrong with this situation, and it is the same sickness of blindness that afflicted the citizens of Germany during the 1930s.

po, po girl... yes this nation spends billions training our troops to kill children for sport!!! in a war, youth, innocents are always killed, injured. no one is supporting the killing of any non combatant, but in real life, in war it happens.

I'm not entitled to another opinion like the 280 MM Americans who don't agree with your 20 MM?

thats waht u think

These sick, evil f--ks. And to think, there are many people here in America that try to compare these terrorists to the patriots who fought for our independence.

Fingers removed?, water boarding?, this sure is a dirty war! What are the values that we are all fighting for? and i apply this to both sides.

Night and day between our values and the terrorist.

Fingers removed = They ain't growing back. Lost forever and these guys are probably dead after their interrogation which was probably strictly used for their amusement.

Waterboarding = Not life threatening at all. Afterwards, he was able to take a piss while still using his fingers.

You sorry? Well maybe you should save your sorrow for the THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE SOLDIERS who died NEEDLESSLY in IRAQ and their FAMILIES.

If your so worried about iraq's well being and happiness then by all means go live in happiness together. I will BUY YOUR plane ticket and happily wave goodbye. People like you are the reason we give and give to countries that do nothing but harm us, yet leave starving children in the streets a mile away from us. It's a kill or be killed situation at times. I don't believe we should be in Iraq only because I'm tired of our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters loosing their lives trying to help people who don't even want us there. The only reason that HONORABLE man was in iraq, even if he was just a contractor, was to help with the struggle to keep YOUR dumb a** from harm. Does this mean his life means less? You do not deserve to call yourself an American.

what is your source that 50% of new yorkers believe it was an inside job? what is your proof that the american people believe everything the gov't does and says? i sure don't! i don't even support the bush administration. but i also have enough life experience to understand how it would be impossible for participants in some crazy scheme like this to keep it from leaking out. the smoking gun would be the person/s who leaked the info. among the conspiracy theorists, there has never been a claim coming from a source, named or unnamed that claims to have been involved. besides the whole theory has been debunked and whenever someone else comes up with a new claim... its gets debnunked too.
