"I don't see much, if any, difference between the defenders of these atrocities on this thread and the perpetrators themselves" And I see the word "atrocity" has been conveniently broadened by so many liberals, pacifists and others since these photos were released.
To see what the term "atrocity" really means, go find some photos of the Nazi Concentration camps, or view the photos of the four Americans hanging upside down by one leg from a bridge, after having been murdered and burnt to a black, crispy charcoal state by their Iraqi captors. Or view the photos of Iraqi thugs standing over dead American POWs who have their limbs torn off and their pants down. Or perhaps ask Jessica Lynch what it felt like to get raped and left to die on a stinking cott after getting her legs broken, her spine damaged and her arm broken in an ambush. Ask her how she feels about the death of her four comrades who were SHOT by Iraqis after their capture.
THEN GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR MORE REALISTIC DEFINITION OF THE WORD "ATROCITY".

Jeezus H., you'd think it was 1944 and pictures of Auschwitz were filtering back.

I'm coming late to the party, I guess. I agree with your points. I wish I could think as well sitting here at the keyboard as I do when I'm trying to drop off to sleep at night. There my thoughts seem quite brilliant (to me) but not so when I sit here.
What I want to say is why on earth does anyone expect anything different than what happened when we conservatives have fought for years to get the liberal left to understand that there is right and wrong in the world. There are consequences to bad behavior. The people we have seen in the published photos are of the generation the left has protected for years through the lax law enforcement of the country, the lenient/activist courts, the ACLU, the removal of any shame over immoral behavior, the behavior of a Commander in Chief who was disbarred for lying under oath and on and on.
I don't need to go on as you all know the kinds of things we have fought against. Now who screams the loudest over these photos? The left who has done all the damage to this country! They never fail us; they are transparent in their agendas and sadly now our troops and country will have to pay the cost. It is truly maddening, revolting and sickening.
I might add, who cares if the rest of the world hates us now? Does that mean we don't have to support them anymore?
Oh! if only that were true.
I know I'm leaving out my best thoughts but I hope you get the idea.
