It isn't inconceivable, given that rapes are sometimes committed by guards in both US Civilian Prisons, that rapes occurred. It isn't inconceivable, given that rapes are sometimes committed by child care workers in US civilian juvenile detention facilities, that rapes of children occurred.
And such a rape would be cruel, of course.
So I am willing to concede, for the sake of argument, that rapes, cruelty and/or other crimes have occurred, yes.
But that doesn't mean I can concede that, simply because there is a chain of command, that higher ups knew about it, either. As noted above, rapes of women and children occur in US civilian facilities without the knowledge of the wardens. So why would I automatically assume the higher ups knew in a military prison?
But to a certain extent, this is all beside the point. Even if we all agree that this occurred, there is simply no reason to release these photos. We would NEVER release the photo of a juvenile raped in a civilian detention facility, face obscured or not. So why would we do so here, except for cheap sensationalism?
Furthermore, when the release of the photo is likely to cause attacks on soldiers OR CIVILIANS who are NOT the perpetrators, I can see absolutely no merit to your argument that our troops would "deserve" retribution from Islamic terrorists.
With all due respect, and given some of your previous statements about our soldiers, its almost as if you HOPE a few more will be killed.
