Please explain how these "atrocities" are in any way worse than what is done during that most vicious of rituals, fraternity hell week.

"The New Yorker magazine reported Saturday that it had obtained a 53-page U.S. military report that concluded that Iraqi prisoners had been subjected to "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses" at the prison, which before last year's U.S.-led invasion had been Saddam Hussein's primary killing ground for political enemies. The author of the report, identified by the New Yorker as Army Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, said it appeared that some of the inmates had been beaten and sodomized, perhaps with a broomstick or a chemical light." Source: http://www.latimes.com/la-fg-abuse2may02,1,3116542.story

You must have really enjoyed hell week!

The MPs at the prison in question have few duties. The are to secure the prison and ensure the safety of the prisoners. This isn't a fraternity.

Didn't Kerry do worse in the Viet Nam war?

I was going to say that the end of hell week, you get to be the pee-er rather than the pee-ee, but I guess that is a dubious advantage.

What I find amazing is that there are huge numbers of people in lower Manhatten and San Francisco who would pay for that kind of abuse, and probably equal numbers who would pay to dish it out. Most of whom are good Democrats who will vote for Kerry.
