POW's in Iraq

Will Iraq let the Red Cross in? Will they find evidence of torture if let in? All it is doing right now is strengthening American troops resolve. What do you think the soldiers were thinking when they found:
Or to be more specific:
Where is the person the uniform belongs to? What are they wearing now? Are they dead?

...shredded remains of at least one female U.S. military uniform at a hospital in An Nasiriyah that had been used by Iraqi forces. It was not clear what distinguished the uniform from those worn by men.
In another part of the hospital, Marines found a large battery next to a bed ? leading them to suspect it was used as a torture device, Sanders reported.

This is all I can find so far:

And a few other just like it.
Anyone?
To most it's just a political game, and it's unrealistic to expect it to be much more. It's so remote we have a hard time understanding the reality of it, graphic pictures notwithstanding.

For those who want more info. Still no Red Cross access.
So when are we going to get our POW's back? Any time soon?
And did I read it right that they have still got a POW from GW1?!?
Go get your men and women back boys! Quickly!

There are MIAs from '91 and I hope to god they are not POWs. Not that I wish them to be dead but leaving them behind is just too horrible. I want to know what happened to our MIAs.

The intricate ways of the English language. If she were on a tank shooting at Iraqi soldiers, she'd be a lean mean female killing machine. A woman to fear. But she got captured, and all of a sudden she's a GIRL. Like 16 year-old whimsical adolescents got transported, against their will, to the Gulf, to fight Bush' war against their will.

Oh god. So when they call our soldiers "boys" what does that mean? Sexist plot to subjugate them?

I'd call it repressed homosexuality at least.
What idiot would call a man, holding a gun larger than his leg, a 'boy'? I wouldn't like to be shot by one of these 'boys'.
Better yet, what idiot state arms 'boys' with guns, larger than these boys' legs? Sudan does. Hardly the lighting beacon of civilisation. Go ahead and identify yourself with them. My 'boys'!?

Why don't you find a real issue to be upset with. This thread happens to be about getting our POW's back. Whether we call them girls or boys, men or women is seriously besides the point.

Who would they be seeing ?
They torture soldiers for what little they can get and execute them. Haven't you people been paying attention, they don't need hostages and they don't take prisoners.
The only reason the private was still alive was because she was a female soldier ( a Muslim contradiction ).
It's terribly sad, but the truth.

That has actually been my point to a certain extent. However I have been taking the hopeful road of they are just being jerks about it. I want all of those POW's to make it home. If we find them executed or otherwise dead I will be seriously upset. Whatever that is worth.
