No, I'm not fine with the perps, but I'm furious with Hackworth because he should have known better. He should have known what this would do to the situation over there. He just endangered every one of those kids in that theater. He also endangered this country by putting those pictures into the hands of the media. He's supposed to be a military man. The media are totally without morals, but you would expect someone who CLAIMS to be for the "little guy" to know better.

HACKworth knew exactly what it would do.
The HACK has been bitter because he found out he would never wear a star. He blamed that on the incompetent officer corps over him; it never occurred to him that his own abilities, or lack thereof, were probably the most important contributing factor.
Given his predictions on all things military since he became a media whore, his lack of promotion is understandable.

How do you figure that the media showing pictures is going to endanger anyone? The Iraqis already seem to hate us. I have no doubt that prisoners who have been released were spreading tales or torture and murder throughout the region.
It seems that American citizens were the last to know, and the military didn't exactly get on the ball until the press lit a fire under their asses.
The fact that we put depraved sexually deviants in charge of some prisoners probably has a little to do with why some of them see us as the enemy. Now we have a chance to show them that real Americans don't go for that crap.

I really don't understand how 'conservatives' condone this action and heap hatred upon the person delivering the photos. It's not like he committed the crime.
