Quote: JQ said: This whole scandal keeps getting worse and worse.
Quote: Most detainees were civilians, and few were suspected of terrorism. The Red Cross, in its February report on conditions in Abu Ghraib and other U.S.-run prisons in Iraq, estimates that 70 to 90 percent of Iraqi detainees were picked up erroneously. This means that most of the people who endured this treatment were as innocent of terrorism as you or I...
As further proof some of the prisoners tortured weren't criminals or terrorists, look at todays headline: U.S. soldiers release 300 Iraqi's from prison.
It just sucks. And comparing ourselves to murderous thugs & saying "see we're not so bad" doesn't cut it. We're the good guys & there are just lines even in war that you don't cross. There just was no good reason not to stick to the Geneva rules.
