So, what? Were these U.S. soldiers initiating the Iraqis into their secret club or something and we're not finding out about it?

I find the "this is along the same lines as hazing" argument to be weak at best.

When prison guards HERE start abusing prisoners, they are dealt with as soon as possible. No one starts making excuses. The fact that many of the Iraqi prisoners are being held without being charged or convicted of anything makes this even worse, IMO.
