It also makes it less likely that Iraqis will turn in bad guys -- why should they, if a bunch of foreign prison guards are going to mistreat them?

Let me see;
Iraqis lived in a country where Saddam's thugs regularly chopped off fingers, limbs and heads, fed people live through plastic shredders, dipped them in vats of acid...etc. etc.

...and NOW these SAME Iraqis are going to be reluctant to turn in bad guys for fear they might be forced to wear panties on their heads?
Sorry, but I give the Iraqis more credit than you do. I think most of them believe the bad guys deserve far worse things than the so called "torture" at Abu Ghraib.

Has anyone seen the photos of this S. Korean guy being beheaded.

Does the arab media only expose the killings of Americans?

You're making a mistake if you think Al Jazeera's propaganda about the prison stuff was ineffective.
