What's your thoughts about that:

 

Jack Reed (d) :" do you think couching naked for 45 mins while being questionned is humane?"

P.Wolfowitz, Joint Def. Secretary:" blabla"

Jack Reed (d):"no no, answer the question: do you think that crouching naked for 45 mins while being questionned is humane??"

P.Wolfowitz: *pause* "I don't know"

Jack Reed:" How about sleep deprivation for 36 hours, sir?"

P.Wolfowitz:*pause*"i don't know"

 

And this man is USA Joint Defense Secretary...lol. pathetic.

This is not a conventional War, it is not against a country, it is not like the World War 2, it is not like Vietnam, Terrorist are anywhere, even in your backyard, the USA or . It is not a War you can beat easily, the terrorist can be armed from a slingshot to a nuclear missile.

With reference to Iraq (as opposed to the 'war on terror') Iraq isn't exactly like Vietnam, but there are obvious comparisons:

 

Stalemate in the UN security council

Undeclared status of the 'war'

Guerilla(sp?) tactics

Widespread opposition to the war "at home" and abroad

Difficulty identifying friend from foe

Clash of ideology

The absence of any workable exit strategy

Embedded journalists and iconic pictures

Violation of human rights

 

I suppose many of these conditions occur in most conflicts, but the scale and intensity of each is very reminiscent of Vietnam imo.
