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.
Oh I have my facts very straight. And you don't know who you are talking to either...Read the reports and statements and even the loatest information that is breaking. These are not atrocities. A few moron out of control prison guards decided to reek havoc with NO ORDERS and are now paying the price. I am not concerned about sinking to their level because good and decent soldiers brought this to the attention of their superiors and the approriate actions are now taking place. You on the other hand seem to be nearly hystericla over it. With your tag name being liberlarry perhaps that tells me ALL I need to know
