Actually, if Military officers were court-martialed for threatening detainees at gunpoint - it is a big deal.

What do people think wars entail? Marquis of Queensberry rules, and tea party etiquette? Our Military is more gracious than any in the history of the world - but when 'bad stuff' happens - it happens. Its war. When we send our warriors to battle - support them. Don't stab them in the back...
And 'shocking as the photographs from Abu Ghraib'...please. You show me people using drills, power saws, and the like - I'll get offended. People embarrassing terrorist thugs -- sure, they shouldn't have done it - but I'm neither 'offended', nor do I believe the participants deserved more than a slap on the wrist (if even that).

I agree. I meant BFD in relation to scaring the poor terrorists.
