Now that the arrogant ruthless despot Saddam Hussein is Defeated Iraq should adopt an electoral Type of government headed by a president. Such a government would provide presidential impeachment clauses Basic freedoms and separation of Church and state. This would prevent another thoughtless Leader such As Saddam from getting Iraq into International trouble. I Hope iraqi citizens Wise up and take a firmer stand on their destiny. The iraqis be treated like cattle dragged into a slaughterhouse As Saddam has done. A a it Snow or never a for Iraq. This May be their Only Chance to adopt a government by the people and for the people not a government by sad fam and for Saddam. A Jose m. Pulido Mercado Raf upper hey Ford englandp0w photo protested time and again during the Gulf War the news carried reports of How Saddam Hussein mistreated Allied prisoners of War. We were All outraged when Saddam paraded the pilots on television. The key Points of the applicable Geneva conventions were repeated in the news Media around the world. Then on feb. 22, across the front Page of Many newspapers including the stars and stripes a picture of iraqi prisoners being manhandled by american maps was printed. Done to you read your own news that photo was a Clear violation of the Geneva conventions. Publishing this photo was wrong. This was just another example of Why the military distrusts the press. You make our jobs More difficult. One of the responsibilities of our unit was countering iraqi propaganda. By publishing this photo you just further fed the fires of iraqi propaganda. Now they can say that we also violate the Geneva conventions. A a a a �.�. A capt. Susanl Gough a staff sgt. Kathleen. Johnson a sgt. Cheryl e.

Their charges of Lack of food Lack of religious time and unreasonable training Are frankly incredulous. In be been on Active duty for 7vy years and have yet to meet any Soldier who has not been afforded ample amounts of food or time for religious practices.
