Well, to be perfectly honest Irate, I think if you go back over my posts on this topic the past several months, you will find that I do indeed support that justice be done. I'm not one of the rabid lefties here who call for Bush to be impeached because of it. Justice will be, and is being, done. I have never expected anything less.
The only issue I have is that I, like many others, suspect that the guilt for these crimes go a bit higher up the chain.
For example, I think Rumsfeld is guilty of instigating an atmosphere where these crimes were committed. Does this mean I believe he should be prosecuted? Of course not. But I think it shows a certain lack of ability, good judgement and common sense. I think he should resign. That's just my opinion.
The soldiers that carried out these crimes are being held to account. Perhaps some of their superiors should also be tried. But that's not for me to say.
I don't know why you seem to think I believe we should engage in " ritual suicide a hundred times over for the abuses at abu graib (and the like)." I don't.
