Wrong and wrong. #1 Americans don't kill and torture Iraqis. Don't generalize - please, it can get messy that way. A few *bad soldiers* tortured these Iraqis. It's not a trend, and I sure hope they are punished for their acts.
From what I have read, Iraqi insurgents torturing Americans doesn't seem to be commonplace either. This incident might not have even been conducted by Iraqis. It is reported that it is Al Qaeda, and until otherwise proven, I'll go with that. Al Qaeda is made up of rogues that are outcasts from their countries - Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. I would even go as far to say that a majority of the insurgents we are fighting in Iraq aren't even Iraqi - they're Yemeni, Syrian and Irani.
I don't want to get too deep here....
