Its sad and disgusting what a couple of bad apples in our military did. Whats equally disturbing is what people make of this. The idea that this represents America or our military as a whole is ridiculous. This behavior should have never been entertained for a moment and those responsible will be punished, but the world's "shock" to these few photos seems to lack credibility when they didn't seem so "shocked" at the abuses of Hussein. Pile up a mass grave next to a pile of naked Iraqi soldiers and the two don't seem to draw comparison. But google "Iraq mass graves" and "Iraq prisoner abuse" and you'll see some strange math in media coverage. The soldiers that participated in this disgusting behavior will find themselves at the bottom of that humiliating pile when this is over.
