Leavenworth??? I did not see any comments as to actual physical torture. If so lets see those pictures. Cashier them along with their CO out of the service. Prison time would serve no purpose.

The crimes with with these soldiers can be charged indeed could bring conviction at Court Martial and confinement. The soldiers, of course, are indeed legally presumed innocent. That said, real war criminals should be prosecuted and punished. Not to do so is contrary to good order and discipline and injurious to the strategic goals of the United States. The honor of every soldier who is laying his/her butt on the line to do the right thing demands it.

What they did violated the Law of War! They have not only disgraced the uniform and the country, but have set our cause back immeasurably. They will indeed spend some time behind bars.
