I think that you got that backwards the acts of humiliation and degradation were done before the interrogations, in an effort to soften the resolves of men who were once willing to die to kill others. The outrage is that the guards ENJOYED what they were doing and photographed it. It is the photographed enjoyment that makes the treatment barbarous, not the specific acts. The prisoners and their supporters are guilty of much more barbaric acts.

Exactly.

Any American caught on film should be promptly punished. The person(s) who released these pictures to media companies should also be found and prosecuted as this action has seriously hurt the prosecution of this war.

The outrage is that these Americans were deriving pleasure from the acts. The nature of the acts should be reviewed against acceptable standards of interrogation that are appropriate for the situation. This should be approved by Rumsfeld, but not published to the enemy.
