NOt at all...and there is NOTHING in any of my posts that would suggest that. You toss around the word atrocity as if it was water. What happened at Abu Ghraib is unfortunate and atypical. The soldiers responsible are being dealt with. There was not one atrocity there. An atrocity would be oh how about the MURDER of a mother and her four children by gangsters in the Gaza or how about the random beheading of anyone captured by thugs or even the burning ,mutilation, and public display of four soldiers ? You have NO sense of proportion. Idealism through blinders is only useful in physics lab
You don't know who you're talking to...and you don't have your facts straight.
The incidents at Abu Ghraib are not isolated, there were murders, and much of what was done constitute atrocities. The murders perpetrated by Arabs in Gaza and elsewhere are also atrocities.
The point of my last post was that you seem to have no concern that we might be sinking to their level - and doing so without public discussion or awareness. There are arguments - good ones - for using extreme torture in certain situations. There are also very, very good arguments for not using torture at all outside of those situations. You seem unaware and unconcerned with the subtleties.
