Thank you Mark,
Somebody sees the obvious difference between humiliation and mutilation! Those poor prisoners. At least they weren’t swinging from a bridge and burned alive.
jamie.
Furthermore, did you see the second cartoon? Just as for the misplaced reactions in the Arab streets, I also see no place for fingerpointing by Americans in order to try to minimize the Abu Graib situation.

There is a difference between humiliation and mutilation of course, but torture is torture, and if you are saying that the death of four mercenaries is a reason – in retrospect – to torture POW’s then I think that is bullshit.
