LOL Don't expect them to ever even enter this thread. They are no where to be found at such threads. Too much truth hurts. Still, they will try to justify such wrongdoings committed at the hands of their beloved army personnel. You'll be amazed!
There is no justification as to what happened at Abu Ghraib. Those prisoners were horribly beaten and abused by soldiers who's job was to treat the prisoners humanely.
What you forgot to add in your original post is that the soldiers who committed the abuse were punished. Here is the punishment the soldiers recieved....
Cpl. Charles A. Graner Jr., 372nd M.P. Co.
Convicted by a general court-martial in January 2005 on five counts of assault, maltreatment and conspiracy.
The charges against Graner stemmed from a number of incidents at Abu Ghraib in November 2003. Among the charges were striking a detainee with a metal baton, stomping on detainees' hands and bare feet, and hitting a detainee "with a means or force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm." He was also charged with photographing detainees he had ordered to strip and masturbate, as well as a pair of detainees whom he had ordered to simulate fellatio.
Graner received a 10-year prison sentence and a dishonorable discharge from the Army, and was reduced in rank to private.
