"It sounds like you HOPE they will "mistreat" him because you hate the USA so much."

No. It sounds to me as though the poster is indicating that he hopes the soldier is not treated in a manner that reflects our recent departure from decency.

To whomever responded with "... rectionary liberal ..."

Which do you not understand: "reactionary" or "liberal"?

If you would like to be taken seriously, it might be worth your while to actually understand the terms you use.

Its against international law, to put him on TV? Not all Americans, are like that Dick C. and that crap he pulled. This soldier has a caring family, something most Americans have gone away from. We should call it the me generation. God Bless him and his family, my prayers are with them and all the men and women of this great nation and are Allies.

Isn't it funny how our economy was at the strongest it has ever been just before the dems took over congress? You all keep forgetting that even in today's economy it is still better than when Jimmy Carter left office.

Remember the 'waterboarding' which does not equate to beheading.
Remember the invasion of Afghanistan which needed invaded after allowing the attacks planned on their soil.
Remember the dictator of Iraq trying to shoot down our planes?
Remember the dictator of Iraq claiming he had WMD's?

Of course you don't remember this stuff...It would get in the way of your liberal agenda.

Fine...waterboarding. But if they do their normal techniques, he will be far worse off. I hope they did take a page from our book. waterboarding is humane especially when you compare it to breaking bones, dismembering, and decapitation.

We can only hope the Taliban will limit themselves to the 'tried and true methods of extracting information from this soldier'. Otherwise they will fall back on their own preferred methods...broken bones, flayed skin, beheading...you know..the more pleasant sorts of interrogation...
ABM...you are a liberal tool.
