All I know about is what I have heard on the news. <BR/><BR/>I do know that an Iraqi once told me that the <A HREF="http://servingiraq.blogspot.com/2006/04/americans-are-too-nice.html" REL="nofollow">Americans were way too nice in their interrogation tactics </A>and that if they gave the terrorist prisoners over to the Iraqi military, they could make them talk.<BR/><BR/>And I know of threats of torture and death by terrorists in Iraq. For example, after nearly getting killed by a roadside bomb, some friends of mine questioned a local store owner, who said "The terrorists are here in the store, but I can't tell you who they are, because they have threatened to kill me and my family."Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488177.post-1158854574024417612006-09-21T10:02:00.000-06:002006-09-21T10:02:00.000-06:00DA,You are correct.

But the way she is going about it is completely unlike nearly all other mothers and wives who have lost sons and husbands in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>We have recently lost 3 servicemen here in Utah, and each one of their families was very proud of the service their sons/brothers/husbands were providing in the Middle East.Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19488177.post-1158817499521644962006-09-20T23:44:00.000-06:002006-09-20T23:44:00.000-06:00Whatever my personal opinion of Cindy Sheehan, I t...Whatever my personal opinion of Cindy Sheehan, I think it is safe to say that she knows a bit about what happens to soldiers in Iraq.

I had to listen to Rocky over the PA system - over and over.
