And I guess you don't remember that hundreds of these "ba$tard$" were released shortly after this broke in the news because they were just civilians who had been rounded up and sent to Abu Graib until they could be sorted out.

If true, those involved were guilty of incompetence and deserving of a dishonorable discharge.

It's ridiculous, though, to put someone in jail for up to 10 years for being incompetent and humilating alleged terrorists and war criminals. She's facing more time in jail than real criminals like rapists and child molesters.

It shouldn't be a crime to humilate a POW. Physical or sexual abuse, yes, that is a crime. Using a dog leash and forcing them to strip naked? Absolutely not.

This is politically-correctness at its worst. Those making mistakes that are trying to defend the nation from evil are vilified as being worse than rapists and child molesters.
