Well maybe you out to consider some in between options before you rest on such an extreme position. It wouldn't make you less compassionate.

Isn't there a military version of the thin blue line? They try and protect their own? So sure that incriminates at least some higher ups, but I think it's pretty deranged to think that an entire organization played an active part on such an absurdly horrid incident. My impression is the military has a bit of a frat atmosphere, and again, the concept of putting panties naked prisoners heads has the air of a prank verging on snuff film territory. You really think that's some US Army policy, that was part of the job interviews with outside contractors ??

The other element that plays a huge part were cameras. Soldiers are walking around video taping themselves in front of Saddam's palace, carrying cell phones and calling family from the battle field. That's a new phenomenon waiting to be abused during war time savagery.
