Abu ghraib was not torture. What Jack Bauer to the interrogation suspect on Sunday's "24" was far worse than anything even alleged against any Abu Ghraib defendent. throw them out of the service, sure, because they are perverts and are more suited to be key grips on the "Girls Gone Wild" set, but they shouldn't serve one day of prison time. Ridiculous.
There was another trial in an unrelated case last week and the soldier got a slap on the wrist (the press did not seem too happy). The jury gave him minimal sentencing.
I just want to see the trial of Sgt. Akbar get at LEAST this much publicity since he murdered several US officers back in 2003 and wounded over a dozen more. The men he killed are on the Washington Post's "Bush Lied, Men Died" list which has to be among the biggest insults. (Note: the WP may not refer to the list as such but other antiwar agit prop sites do and we all know the purpose; were were their death tolls in Clinton's wars?).
