What did that man say?
Let's remember what pResident Turd had to say last year...

"War crimes will be prosecuted, war criminals will be punished and it will be no defense to say, "I was just following orders."
-George W. Bush, 3/19/2003


I expect them to be treated, the POWs, I expect to be treated humanely, just like we're treating the prisoners that we have captured humanely. If not, the people who mistreat the prisoners will be treated as war criminals.
-George W. Bush, 3/23/2003
As the vise tightens on the Iraqi regime, some of our enemies have chosen to fill their final days with acts of cowardice and murder. In combat, Saddam's thugs shield themselves with women and children. They have killed Iraqi citizens who welcome coalition troops, and they have forced other Iraqis into battle by threatening to torture or kill their families. They have executed prisoners of war, waged attacks under the white flag of truce, and concealed combat forces in civilian neighborhoods, schools, hospitals and mosques. In this war, the Iraqi regime is terrorizing its own citizens, doing everything possible to maximize Iraqi civilian casualties, and then to exploit the deaths they have caused for propaganda. These are war criminals, and they'll be treated as war criminals.
In stark contrast, the citizens of Iraq are coming to know what kind of people we have sent to liberate them.
-George W. Bush, 4/6/2003


Given the nature of this regime, we expect such war crimes. But we will not excuse them.
War criminals will be hunted relentlessly and judged severely.

-George W. Bush, 3/28/2003"

3. Benchley, Benchley, Benchley, didn't you hear *'s speech?
He refered to our home grown war criminals as 'wrongdoers', not 'evildoers'. That excuses them from the same kind of vitriol that we reserve for those silly brown skinned people in the middle east. The poor, overworked, undertrained, soldiers who commited these frat house pranks can hardly be held accountable because a few Iraqis are overly sensitive, now can we? Sh*t, some people just can't take a joke!
