I don't know Sultan. One wrong doesn't cancel out the other.
This prisoner abuse is a disgrace, and indefensible.
These idiots have smeared the entire military with their behaviour. It really makes me angry, actually.

One of the guys responsible for the photos is a full time corrections officer at a Virginia State prison.

He knows better than to treat prisoners like this.

I dunno. These prisoners seem to have been treated very well when you compare their treatment to that of, say, American prisoners at "the Hanoi Hilton". Now that was abuse, torture, and death. None of that is going on here in the Iraqi situation. Maybe some humiliation, but certainly not torture.

And as far as outrage is concerned, I think we are all outraged, especially since this foolish action has done harm to the war effort. I only ask where was the similar outrage when our own government was killing and burning its own citizens?? Not saying one cancels the other at all.
