assholes. these people test my belief that the DP is wrong. Yes, these were 
interspersed among letters that indicate shame, outrage, etc. but still, 
clearly these people didn't pay attention to the pictures of the prisoners 
that had been killed and the admission that there are charges of murder . 
and even if that wasn't the case, these comments are still dispicable. 
maybe they forget the when u.s. soldiers were captured, they weren't 
tortured. are these people so fucked up in the head that they can't tell 
the difference between the actions of a mob and the actions expected of 
soldiers? apparently so.

"Our military may have unclothed some prisoners, but we did not dismember 
them or incinerate and kill them. Possibly a rewrite is in order."

Naked soldiers! Please. Maybe they should have beaten them, then burned 
them alive and hung their bodies from a bridge!

How easily people forget.

Abuse in Iraq? Do we all forget the pictures of the men hanging from the 
bridge with the crowd acting like it's a holiday, dragging the bodies 
through the streets laughing like its a joke?

Where is the comparison? I'll take a leash without any clothes compared to 
that. Again we're the bad guys. Typical oranges to apples. But it sells!
