True Al Queda has killed...but your statement toltally erases any American accountability for these war crimes we have committed.

No, that's not what I said. I said that the Arab media portray this execution as a DIRECT RESULT of the torture. These terrorists didn't just start doing stuff like this, they've been doing this for years now. Therefore, the torture was an EXCUSE, not a REASON for the killing. Nowhere did I say, nor even imply, that the US is not accountable for their actions.

Or are you suggesting that maybe it didn't happen?

I put "alleged" there, because so far I've only seen evidence of humiliation, not torture. Furthermore, I said that in the good old American tradition of "innocent until proven guilty". After all, it is starting to look very likely that a lot, if not all of the pictures of UK soldiers abusing Iraqis were in fact staged. Or are you suggesting we should just believe everything the media shows us, and start executing the "guilty" people right away?

Damn it people, some of you really should consider READING a post before getting all worked up about it. Perhaps people don't mean it in the most negative way possible!
