the only point I was trying to make, what that the part of "human nature" that might cause someone to rough up a terrorist in their custody, is totally different from the part of human nature that stacks two of those same people in some kind of bondage/erotic pose for photographs.

No. It's the same part of human nature.

If you can't get away with physically harming somebody, you can damn sure humiliate the hell out of them, and pose with these humiliated men as if one were standing next to a deer carcass.

we'll have to disagree on that one. if someone hurt my kid, I wouldn't be thinking to stack that person in a homoerotic pyramid and photograph him for revenge. that just wouldn't "click" for me as a form of retribution.
