About Me

I am a 40-something year old computer analyst working in the world of the mainframe and the confines of the corporate machine.
My favorite things to do are:
Sports & PC games
I don't really have a favourite colour.
I am living common-law after being divorced. I have a son and two daughters, plus a step-daughter. All are gems in their own way.

    POW 


    The goings on over in Iraq with the prisoners and their captors can be viewed in no other way than being a disgrace to the U.S. military and government. Some of the very acts of human degradation and inhumane treatment the U.S. chastised Saddam for are now captured on film with the U.S. military taking on the role of the corrupt regime.
    The saying of "power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" has been around for quite some time and is given fruition via these events.

    One would think that all military personnel would be aware of the Geneva Convention and all that it affords under "humane treatment of prisoners of war", BEFORE they are put in a position of power over others. Court martials will be forthcoming, however, I think it will, and should go much farther than those in the pictures. The chain of command will also be held accountable and will have to face the consequences. This should likely include Rumsfeld, if not for the act but for the stumbling and bumbling that went on when this all started coming out. One can only imagine the outcry if there were U.S. military POWs treated anywhere near what the released pictures depict.
