Oh, good. At least we aren't the only sadists in town.

The records of interviews by Army Criminal Investigation Division agents obtained by the AP include new allegations that coalition forces had beaten prisoners before turning them over to the US.

Sgt. Antonio Monserrate, an Army interrogator, told investigators that two detainees had been "injured by the Polish Army." Monserrate referred to the inmates by their prison identification numbers but did not provide any further details.

Polish occupation forces operate in south-central Iraq. Prisoners also accused Iraqi forces of abusing them but named no other country in the documents obtained by the AP.

Poland has rejected the allegations, saying they were unfair.

Unfair!

That should absolve us of some of the blame. That and the Brits' share.

I wonder if war is such a good idea, after all. How about a war that didn't even ever have to happen?

What I really wonder is if people are such a good idea. Lot, gather up the wife and kids.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
