It just makes me shake my head when I hear the government complaining that the Iraqis are "fighting underhandedly".

You mean, like the colonials did during the Revolutionary War? Funny how unconventional tactics are praised in one scenario and deprecated in another, depending on who you're rooting for.

Personally, I can't blame the Iraqis. We're the ones going over there into their country. They should be expected to defend it, even in ways we "civilized" countries may not agree with.

One of our national newspapers, a tabloid, has side by side pictures today of the American POWs being "paraded" by the Iraqis and prisoners in Guantanamo bay on their knees with hands behind their heads. As you say, there are some double standards being applied here.
