But to your point, it's not fear that drives me to think that we treat our prisoners too well, its logic: The enemy, whoever that is at the time, would not think twice before killing an American civilian or treating captured soldiers worse than dogs. We fight too civilized. If we started fighting like them and took the war into their homes and their hearts, they may start to see things a little bit differently.

I think treating enemies as harshly as they do us mentality only leads to worst treatment..one side will always up the ante ...
