It appears that you have deluded yourself with a saintly view of the US military. To disabuse you of that notion and to deprive you of the excuse that you didn't know, read the report. Here is an excerpt. The army report listed abuses such as "breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; ... beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair; threatening male detainees with rape; allowing a military police guard to stitch the wound of a detainee who was injured after being slammed against the wall in his cell; sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick." story.news.yahoo.com of course all this is known to the US army. But it not reveal its existance until the knowledge had gooten wide-spread and it couldn't be hidden. And by the way, the US defense department had told CBS to suppress the report on 60 minutes, and CBS complied. Until the pictures were being shown by non-US media, so now they try to salvage the situation by trying to appear as though the reports are self-generated.
