With the damn country bombed back to the stone age possibly the kids are as well off in custody, I am under the assumption that they get regular meals between bouts of torture.

  First off, for most areas in Iraq, being bombed to the stoneage would be an improvement. Before you start singing the praises of Saddam Hussein, you do realize that Baghdad doesn't have a sewer system. This wasn't caused by the US, Saddam never built one.
  As to torture, things you saw in the Abugrab photos were nothing compared to Saddam's methods. Prisoners before their "confession" ofter were raped, both men and women. If a male prisoner wouldn't talk, generally his wife, mother, daughters or other female relative or relatives were raped in front of them until a confession happened. Electrical shocks to the privates, amputations of male parts was another fun one. Executions often included the entire family, clan or village.
  I think that when they're arrested they're released is a far better alternative to Saddam's methods.
