First, those men strung up on the bridge were mercenaries, not "our troops"
But anyway. There are additional reports of men who were beaten to death and then dumped in the desert. Men forced to simulate fellatio on each other. Men sodomized with broom handles, men pissed on and men forced to parade around naked with each other.
That last one may not seem like a big deal to us but in the islamic culture that is a huge humiliation.
We are supposed to be better than this, and by and large, we are. But this is just so reprehensible that an entire company could be so accepting or complacent with these actions.
This will get our troops and contractors over there tortured and killed with regularity. Why treat the americans with respect when you actually have proof now that they aren't treating the Iraqi's with any?
And the worst part is, we can't complain about it when they do anymore.
Remember that Halliburton trucker who was kidnapped several weeks ago and just escaped? He wasn't tortured. But you can bet he would have been after his captors heard about this attrocity.
It would have been a lot harder for him to escape if his knees were smashed or his eyes gouged out.
