Snowshoe:

Let's keep this in perspective. Though horrifying, this alleged conduct is far different to what took place in the same building under Saddam, where real physical torture and murder was a daily event.

Please do not misunderstand, I am not defending the alleged conduct of the US soldiers and civilian contractors. On the contrary, I fervently hope that the military and civilian authorities in Iraq punish these people to the maximum extent of the law.

The real shame of this is that the US is now losing the propaganda war, as pictures of a handful of abused and humiliated prisoners will incite a whole new generation of potential terrorists. Of course Saddam murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi muslims, but Saddam was not an infidel, so no harm no foul.
