LL,

re: The leaders of that military force said that action violates all rules under which it expects it to operate and it will punish the offenders. This makes no difference?

It makes little or no difference to the Iraqi's, or other ME Muslims. In their minds, they've seen how US soldiers treat Arabs. We would have the same reaction if the situation was reversed, if the pictures were of Arabs torturing US folks, no?

re: THis is like jailing the governor of a state any time prison guards beat a prisoner.

Huh?

re: TO put matters differently, you will use any and all possible excuses to attack the administration.

With so many great reasons to attack this admin, why would I work up a mental sweat?

Besides, I wasn't attacking the admin, I was just saying that the torture incidents are enough to tip the scale, so that we can never win the hearts and minds, or the "war".
