Giving prisoners more rights is the same as given them more power. If you've done something morally wrong, you should atleast feel like you've done something wrong. The more power they have, the more they feel like they haven't done anything wrong. By taking away some of the prisoner's rights, atleast society lets you know that you are scum.

Its not giving them more rights, its giving them the rights that they are entitled to.

Though I do think that the way society lets you know should remain civilized in itself. Meaning without comparison, acting in a civilized manner. Because society = civilians. And letting scum know that they're scum by acting like scum = hypocritical.

Jennifer doesnt look scary, there was no need to attack me. I thought Beyonce looks like a man there. Pff Whatever.

Anyway, I think not all prisoners are scum. Some people have gone to prison for something they havent done (I am not suggesting this about Saddam), Just saying you cant tar someone with the same brush.

This is a bit surprising.

The Iraqi government says Saddam Hussein will face only 12 charges when he goes on trial, despite a possible 500 cases against him.

A spokesman said the 12 charges of crimes against humanity were fully documented and there was no point "wasting time" dealing with all 500.

He reiterated the government's plan to start the trial within two months. The judge in charge of the trial says the former dictator's morale is low because of the number of accusations.

That's because many of the 500 charges all roll into the same 12 categories such as rape, murder, torture etc.... So each of the 12 will be easier to deliberate by a jury instead of 500.

Yeah I guess so. I guess all 12 are documented and it makes it easier.
