Yeah, that's true. It only stands to reason that a daily spectacle of American soldiers publicly torturing Iraqis in the town square would do wonders for the Yank objective. If that kind of thing were to go on then maybe the Iraqi ingrates would finally pull out the flowers and have the parade they were supposed to have a few years ago when the Marines showed up in Baghdad.
At the very least a strictly regulated public torture program would go a long way towards ending those suicide bombings. Any martyr with a lick of sense isn't going to blow himself to smithereens if he has to worry about getting a public flogging after the fact.
