 The recent prisoner of war scandals and new revelations  
about 26 prisoners under US custody in Iraq and Afghanistan  
who have died, in what investigators have concluded were  
acts nothing short of criminal homicide, brings to mind a  
book by David Hackett Fischer. Kishcher's book illustrates  
how George Washington rescued the American Revolution by  
defeating Hessian mercenaries in early battles in New  
Jersey. But what is particularly relevant for today is how  
Washington dealt with prisoners of war and in doing so set  
new standards for the more humane treatment of war  
prisoners.  

"What Fischer has to say is: "According to the laws of  
European was? Quarter was the privilege of being allowed to  
surrender and to become a prisoner. By custom and tradition,  
soldiers in Europe believed that they had the right to  
extend quarter or deny it. In these laws of war no captive  
had the inalienable right to be taken prison, or even to  
life itself... With some exceptions, American leaders  
believed that quarter should be extended to all combatants  
as a matter of right…Americans were outraged when quarter  
was denied to their soldiers." In a reaction to the British  
troops who murdered seven soldiers who had surrendered only  
to get their skulls bashed in Fischer concludes: "The  
Americans recovered the mutilated corpses and were shocked."  

But Washington did not respond with blind retaliation or  
revenge, it only strengthened his resolve, wrote Fischer:  
"Washington ordered that Hessian captives would be treated  
as human beings with the same rights for humanity for which  
Americans were striving. The Hessians were amazed to be  
treated with decency and even kindness. At first they could  
not understand it." So here you have it. In our tradition  
we are the first people to bring this kind of humane  
treatment to prisoners of war only to see ourselves descend  
into the kind of barbaric treatment that our founder fathers  
fought against. This is not good.  

I know war is hell and standards change but when you have  
the Attorney General of the United States say that the  
Geneva Convention's rules on treatment of prisoners is a  
quaint notion; I ask Mr. Attorney general to read a little  
bit about his history. It is against any rules of conduct  
to torture people to the point that they die in your  
captivity. We call that murder. In the United States our  
humane treatment in war has a tradition, which was a part  
of the founding father's beliefs in a more just society. We  
have fallen short, to be sure, many times but this is a  
tradition we should be proud of and these recent deaths we  
should be ashamed of as a nation.

SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 12) - Is it an artesian spring, a broken water pipe or an abandoned well? Lucille Pope's red oak tree has gurgled water for about three months, and experts can't seem to get to the root of the problem.

Pope, 65, has sought answers from the Texas Forest Service, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and nurseries. They have taken pictures and conducted studies, but none have arrived at a firm answer.

"I got a mystery tree," Pope said in Friday editions of the San Antonio-Express News. "What kind of mystery do I have where water comes out of a tree?"

Her son, Lloyd, 47, discovered water leaking from the tree in April. He said it was cool, like it came from the tap. The only damp spot around the tree trunk is where the water lands.

Mark Peterson, a regional community forester from the Texas Forest Service said he believes it could be a spring, but pointed out that would be rare with the drought conditions this summer.

"If it is a burst pipe their monthly bill would be enormous," Peterson said.

Lucille Pope has started to wonder if the water has special properties. Her insurance agent dabbed drops of the water on a spider bite and the welt went away, she said.

"I just want to know if it is a healing tree or blessed water," she said. "That's God's water. Nobody knows but God."

  "Says the Wilson Advance: Mr. Hanse Braswell, of Nash county, 

had two sons who bore the names of Peter Flam Lanton Ham Tom Sam

A. Braswell and Charles DeBerry Isham Luci Richard Haywood

Hansel A. Braswell. When Mr. Braswell was asked what the

 "A" stood for he answered "nothing in particular."
  
  *********
  I doubt he ever got angry with either son, imagine

calling each by their complete names to let them

know you are upset about something!
