Greetings Visionaires -

I find it absolutely appalling that somebody actually feels we should treat 
prisoners of war with kit gloves.  My father was a POW in Germany during WW2.  
His daily ration consisted of two slices of black bread and a pint of water.

I will not even begin to discuss treatment of American POWs imprisoned in 
the "Hanoi Hilton" during Vietnam.

If somebody actually feels that these prisoners are being treated inhumanely, 
please contact your congressman and volunteer your abode for the "safekeeping" 
of these "unfortunates".

Take care,

Tom Hansen
