Just terrible that this would happen in the 21st century in a supposedly civilized country.

You are absolutely naive to the way the world works then. If a suspect has information that will definitively aid in the protection of our country and countrysmen we have all the right in the world to gather that information.

 

Really? Please prove that assertion.

I thought you had such things as laws and signed conventions.

@Tyrannical: What's the big concern with lice in this case? Why not give them a pedicure as well in case they have athlete's foot? Regarding the photos, where's the precedent for doing that?

 

Sure we do.  A contract, a law, a signed piece of paper is exactly that.  Countries toss them aside and trash them at their leisure.  When it comes to doing what is in the best interest for our country,  we should take whatever steps necessary to accomplish this goal.  

 

 

 

 

OMG

Centuries of civilizations to read this ?

You are attacked by savaged people... so you have to react like savaged people ?

What I find the funniest about this thread. Is that there are very few 'Americans' in here discussing this. Mostly Europeans from smaller countries that rely on 'Daddy' to take care of their needs.

That's what I find funny about this thread.

Maybe most Americans are too ashamed to comment, unlike you?

I know I would be if it was my country doing this. At most I'd post an apology.

Your country will never be in a position like this for obvious reasons.  You fall under the protective umbrella.   It's easy to take pot shots at the guy on top while you collectively sit back and enjoy the collateral benefits of being 'Allies' with us. 

Last time I checked Portugal (For example) came with us to Iraq and probably captured some detainees and PoWs along the way.  Where's the outrage from Portugals politicians?  Ah yes,  there is none.  

You don't bite the hand that feeds.  Smaller countries know this.

Well please link to that information, I'm not really getting the point.

Regarding protective umbrellas, how did that work out for London and Madrid?

Does Belgium have a military?   Serious question?   How long would it take for Belgium to get run over ?    It's very easy to play the peace keeping role when you never get attacked and when no one asks you to help protect or save them.

Indeed, you brough "peace" in Iraq....

"Peace" for Bush is a new market for halliburton and Black waters "friends"....

Don't put that on nationality my friend.. we are reacting as (civilized) human.

Civilized humans living under a protective umbrella of stronger nations who give you the right to have the attitude that you do.
