This taken from the article you linked to--- An Army investigation revealed that her job was to "keep detainees awake" by making them stand on a box with wires attached to their fingers, toes and penis.
Sounds like the "freak" you are referring to was just following orders...I'm thinking this type of "intelligence activity" has been going on thru many wars with the U.S. as well as all other countries of the world...Could be the pictures were shown to other inmates as well to convince them to spill the beans...
The only thing different in this day and age is the media and the internet...Private interrogations are no longer so private...Some things the public is better off not knowing...
Here's why: The military people involved probably changed their minds about the validity of the war after being influenced by the anti war, anti-American media. A certain number of those involved probably thought the military was just a good way to straighten out their lives and pay for college. Think about it. You've got some people there in uniform serving for over a year in a war in which they expected to be welcomed as liberators super PO'ed that they're not going home. Instead, they land in a country where no one can be trusted not to shoot them or blow them up. They read stuff on the INTERNET and in the Liberal papers that sway them over to the other side. After a while, they start to fantasize about how to discredit the military and especially the administration that sent them there. A few individuals in our normally extremely honorable armed forces decide upon revenge. The idea occurs to some that pictures of humiliated, naked POW's would shame our country.
Part of the enemy is within and always has been and always will be.
The President should explain that there are always "destructive opportunists" to be found in all organizations, cultures and religions, or some such term, just as he explains that all Muslims are not terrorists. He is setting the example for the world by purging the criminal element among us, rather than condoning them.
The fact that he's having the courts martial in the convention center is a brilliant strategy.
