   I guess it boils down to how you view the intent behind the video.   
      
   I see a big difference between parading handcuffed, unarmed POWs in front of   
   their captors so they can be humiliated and taunted and showing Saddam being   
   afforded humane treatment and basic health care.   
      
   But then, I'm sure that there are some out there who would choose to   
   question any/every step we take as a nation.   
      
   Some of them still can't get over the Florida thing.  They just can't figure   
   out why we followed the guidelines set forth by the Constitution.
