CBS 60 minutes II report of yesterday. Videos, comments, questions.

I am posting it not so much for the debate, but for others who may want to watch it.

I thought the video diary says a lot about the soldiers' mood, and how it could interfere in their work.

Looks like what goes on in prisons everywhere. Prisoners riot, and the guards have to control the situation.

WHen's Rather going to do an expose on Saddam's prisons?

spacefreak, with all du respect, and believe me, I am looking at the human side on both side here; both prisonners and soldiers seem to realy be in prison. That 20 years old woman is seems to present signs of burnout (the one of the video diary). These people should at least be replaced ASAP if we want to avoid further damage.

Personally, I'd rather see them out of there, but if your Army as a minimum of consideration they should be able to detect and assist such soldiers.
