See, what do Iraqis fighting the US, US soldiers who abuse Iraqi
prisoners, and Catholic Priests who abuse children all have in common? They
are all statistically insignificant minorities who cause great harm to a few
individuals and undermine the progress/postions of the respective groups to
which they belong.

Wow; this sounds just like ‘Nam! When will the helicopters evacuate the
embassy?
Reports suggest that the abuse of Iraqis may be
institutionalised.

Things are worse
than I understood: the CIA’s former counter-terrorism chief Cofer Black has
been quoted as saying about interrogation techniques that “after 9/11, the
gloves came off”.
It is now being reported that there have been
25
deaths in custody... and lets be realistic, deaths in custody may well be the
tip of the iceberg.
This “war” is not about freedom or American values: “An official said a soldier
was convicted in the U.S. military justice system of killing a prisoner by
hitting him with a rock, and was reduced in rank to private and thrown out of
the service but did not serve any jail time.”
