I'd rather be naked on a box, than have my head sawed off, live, on the internet.
No one denies Abu Graib. On the contrary, the story broke from within the USA and was rapidly spread. The more expected response from any closed nation would have been to clamp a heavy lid on it and deny it ever happened. Instead, our open society made it known, investigated, and punished accordingly.
What I absolutely object to is the insinuation that The U.S. justice system is somehow darker, more evil, more brutal than anything else out there. That's simply false. And tossing out terms like "concentration camps" is incendiary, and misleading.
It is easy to read the mind of the OP.
Right along the lines of dedicated threads on Indian toilet habits, Chinese forgery and property rights, Muslim terror; topics designed to inflame, not to inform.

Here I am on Pakistan Defense. I want to be one of the guys. I want to appear cool, hip, one of the gang. How do I do that? Easy - I can make another Bash America thread. This is a safe thing to do. Everyone will support me. I'll feel puffed up and important. I personally don't really care about the material itself... it's more important that it simply cause everyone to say 'oh those evil bastards.'
