Hi guys, I have listened to a broadcast from NPR about U.S soldiers in Iraq. the soldiers are in charge of a prison that contains about 26 000 prisoners incarcerated. As they are winding down every day they release 50 prisoners. It's hard to think about that many people pile up in a prison where their health is exposed to any kind of disease. And there is a question that needs to be asked. Are they all well fed? there is marching in Iraq against the soldiers asking them to leave. they say that some people have been arrested for being suspected, such as a 23 years boy. What do you guys think should be done in Iraq? they try decrease the number of prisoners, but because of the unemployment people can't control themselves from having trouble, a saying says: An idle brain is the devil's workshop. The world is too unfair, we need peace!
Go on this link if you guys want to listen to the broadcast.

Until Litho reported it, I didn't know the fact that the prison in Iraq is filled with such a large number of prisoners. Since the war on Iraq and Afghanistan, the security and the environment in these countries have gotten worse than before. And, this news reminds me of the prisoners in Guantanamo in Cuba. Without any legal validity, the prisoners in Guantanamo have been detained for an indefinite time. Not only for the prisoners but alos for soldiers who are in charge of the prison have been in stressful environment where we cannot imagine. Although increase the number of prisoner is the best measure for maintaining the security in these countries, I personally think that people should consider an alternative measure for coping with this problem in a long term.
