#1 I've already seen a couple. The quote from the NCO was, "It is their country. We just advise, we don't order them around." Of course, the AP guy cruisified the army for that. We are seen as horrible people for letting it happen, and seen as horrible people for making it stop and being an occupying forgien power. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Goddamn liberal journalists....

#2 On the FoxNews.com site today there was a picture of a GI using a Sharpie to label a prisoner's forehead, which I can imagine is going to lead to even more seething. I can just picture some Mo screaming to Al-Jiz, "They wrote 'Pig F*cker' on my forehead in permament marker!" I bet you this happens within the next week.

#3 prisoners should enjoy it while it last. While I hope not, it's highly possible that the Iraqi soldiers will soon be engraving it with a different type of "sharpie".

#4 The best part is that Iraqis can now pick up ~~terrorist sympathizers~~ journalists and ~~interrogate~~ interview them. Drink up fast al-Rashid Lounge Lizards, last call is here.

#5 I prefer to think of this as "showing cultural sensitivity."

"Hey, I didn't want the Iraqi Wolf commandos to string this guy up by his dingus, but then I remembered my diversity training and thought, 'Who am I to judge?' That had to hurt, though."

#6 Seems like a foregone conclusion to me. Remember El Mozote? Salvadorean counter-terrorist units trained by the US? I think the answer is for the Iraqi government to get on with the swift, sure, and transparent administration of righteous justice leading to the televised execution of captured insurgents.
