JF, Other "shades of grey" you might include are that we're occupying their country, not the other way around. That the US "civilians" were mercenaries, and they were not prisoners. And that actually it looks like we did kill a few prisoners.

So we're "occupiers," which means it's OK for Iraqis to kill and mutilate American civilians over there. Oh wait, as long as you refer to those civilians as "mercenaries," it's OK, right? Don't forget that the terrorists are nothing more than "freedom fighters," so it's OK for them to kidnap and kill American and other Western prisoners, right?

Your grey perception is limited. Making excuses for this behavior is a tough assignment; being a Bush supporter must be hell. Come out of the dark side Ten.

My point is that you liberals love to bring up "shades of grey" whenever you characterize the actions of the enemy, but when it comes to Bush and abuses on our side, the argument becomes rather black-n-white. Based on that, I'm not surprised that you missed that point and thought I was making excuses for the reprehensible behavior of our soldiers.
