Today's kolumn is about those noble servicepeople who are serving the country overseas by medically treating both U.S. soldiers and Iraqis, some of which wish to do the U.S. harm. It must be tough to treat people who just tried to blow up your friends with an IED, but these people do it, and they certainly deserve our praise.

I'm sure that 95% of our soldier overseas are doing their best for our country and acting in this manner. What we need to do, though, to win the worldwide publicity war is ensure that those who break the law and act like animals are punished for their crimes, and that means from the Commander-in-Chief and the Secretary of Defense on down. Torture and the use of Soviet prisons tars the name of those citizens who are trying to win hearts and minds.
