Our 21c. society sure has taught us to compare apples to oranges.

Comparing the orphanage to Guantanamo is ludicrous. 16 year-olds should be interrogated if they are combatant fighters! These are special needs children, AND they're how Saddam's regime has trained the Iraqi society to treat those under its power.

Evil people exist everywhere, including in America, and in Iraqi. The people who read this article and can only say, "American troops are hypocrites and killing innocent people too," totally misses the point and have lost their more noble human instincts regarding good and evil.

American troops have been vilify enough with media frenzy over Abu Ghraib and the more recent rape case of the 14-yo. How many outstanding servicemen and servicewomen are there right now, sacrificing their comforts and potentially their life (or an arm or a leg) for what they believe is for the best of the world, including the people of Iraqi? This story has a few of them in it. Respect that!

Quote "Bush supporters have less moral judgment than a pig."

That's very unkind, I quite like pigs and they are reputed to be intelligent.

Quote "The bottom line here is that innocent children were tortured!!! Show some compassion!"

Yes of course, I suppose unless they are being held in an American concentration camp such as Guantanamo?

The US military has admitted that children aged 16 years and younger are among the detainees being interrogated at its prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

This story makes me very proud of our troops, and it makes it that much harder for me to read about the 14 soldiers we lost in 48 hours. May God protect our most important resource - our men and women in uniform.

What is this world coming to. Thank God for these soldiers that found these kids, the children and soldiers will be in my prayers. To the soldiers, please continue to fight for those who can't fight for themselves and God bless you.

friends these are very superficial comments, both bush supporters and bush opposers. The real problem is not saving 24 children or going to iraq to rape thousands of more children. These are all plays to keep us on the top of the iceberg. Why are the troops still there? What is the next step of all this huge plan? Have you ever thought about it?
unfortunately the ordinary citizens always stay on the light topic, and the strategical steps are planned by the big fish, a handful of people.

As the truth indicates, most mental midgets ignore 99% of the facts so they can try to use the remaining 1% as proof that the truth is a lie.

So be it written...

Actually, the only pig here is you.

You have gaul to ignore whatever sounds like something is actually going right in Iraq, and insult everyone who applauded it.

Thats cheap. Not quite as cheap as the pork in the earmarks the Demoncratic congress pushed on that last bill Bush Veto'ed.
