Been in meetings all day so I can't say I know what happened in the other thread but it should be fun to check it out.
While I agree that you can't say they deserved what they got, you also can't say for sure the victims of the torture were innocent. I suspect Limbaugh's aggreement to the "frat prank" equivalency theory is in the context of beheadings, suicide bombings, purposeful targeting of innocent civilians, etc. Not to excuse his words as I'm sure quite a bit of it is to generate discussion and cause a stir, but I believe the relative harm done on a seemingly small scale in Abu Ghareb is much smaller than the relative harm done done terrorists and their supporters.
