We did wrong in the past, so we should do wrong in the future. Got it.
Get real, the only reason why this hurt the Army was because some asshole sold the pics to the media.
No, the damage was done when those f'n idiots disgraced the uniform and their country with their half-assed Torquemada routine. The pictures just let the rest of us in on what sort of numbskullery they were up to.
They hate anything American.
So it was the media's fault? Not the morons who were cruel enough to do it in the first place, and then compound it with a world's championship piece of idiocy by photographing it?

No, I don't think you get it. I was not implying that is correct to behave badly. In case you didn't notice, we're fighting a war. These soldiers have lost fellow comrades, and perhaps family and friends. Ever think that Lynndie England enjoyed it because of what those animals did to Jessica Lynch and Lori Piestowa? Of course it still doesn't make it right, but I can understand the concept of paybacks.
Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. Instead of Iraqi terrorists being the prisoners, they were the captors of Coalition forces. It wouldn't be half-assed Torquemada techniques; think car batteries and the family jewels. Talk about getting off on torture, these sand gremlins wrote the book on it.

Yes, it is the media's fault. Look how they have portrayed the military since Viet Nam. Can you say biased? I thought you could. Cruel? To murdering terrorist scum? Those scumbuckets are lucky they were just the victims of a lame fraternity hazing. Yes, I agree that the whole episode shouldn't have happened, but it did, and there was evidence of their stupidity. Of course the MSM crapped all over themselves with joy, when they got the pics. Pics or no pics, Rather and his ilk are hell bent on destroying this country, and the presidency.
