I'm not saying the US got what it deserved. I am saying two things don't make a right though.
I just can't see how anyone has a right to compare the physical and mental torture on one hand and death on another. I haven't experienced either and if anyone has experienced both maybe they could let us know a comparison?
I'm know of several cultures where the utter humilation of themselves by their captives would be considered worse then dying. You can't say one is "worse" then the other.
I don't think its right to hide behind the fact that they are now all "free" as a reason to torture. I'm sure most Iraqi's are happy at being free but I'm sure they're not happy that their prisons resemble the type of 'justice' which was common in times consigned to the history books.
I always thought that you are innocent until proven guilty and it's up to the accuser to find the evidence and not beat it out of you.
