Hearts and Minds

How the new torture legistlation reads to an Iraqi audience:
"If we should accidentally incarcerate you, and you are innocent, make no mistake -- we will torture you until you confess."

Didn't we at one point seek to win Iraqi hearts and minds? Where has that ideal gone?

Wasn't that the millitary's idea? Don't our boys in uniform diserve our respect when it comes to deciding how to carry out the fight? Didn't the millitary perscribe the policy of winning hearts and minds so that in the long run fewer soldiers would die?

What has Runsmfeld done?
