WE will seek them out not brush it under the rug. WE are better than that and will not tolerate these acts. If the accussed are innocent we hope our system will prove this...

Say what?
I was the first to say that they were perverts ... all two of them ... or maybe there were three.
It's impossible not to gather 500,000 young, rambunctious people ... the approximate number which have served in Iraq ... and not have a few criminals and nutjobs.
My point ... however ... is that there was nothing remotely resembling the "torture" that the leftists so loudly and falsely proclaim. Having some male prisoners strip naked and pose for porno pictures is not "torture." It's unseemly and reprehensible and unworthy of U.S. military personnel ... but it's not torture.
And there's nothing ... absolutely nothing ... about Abu Ghraib for the American government ... or the American military ... or the American citizenry ... to feel sorry about or ashamed of. A few perverts got out of hand ... they were found out by their superiors ... and punished by our justice system. End of story.
