Yeah fishu, all those kidnappings with video behedings, execution style back of the head shootings and beatings really pale in comparison to abu graib don't they.
Do you mean that if a US bomb blows up someones house in the middle east, killing the guys family and has his baby die on his lap, gives him the right to kill couple americans and has the right make them suffer before dying ALMOST as much as his family suffered?
Try to think what you said from the insurgents/terrorists point of view.
Especially the insurgents are using exactly that excuse for their crimes.
Theres no excuse to what was done to the prisoners in guantanamo, abu ghraib, at the frontline.... etc.
Just as much as theres no right for the terrorists/insurgents to kill civilians or execute captured soldiers with cruel methods.
So think twice why american troops are there.
To show them americans are no better than the local dictators or to bring the freedom...?
