Torture is abhorrent and inexcusable. "We weren't very careful during this war. From gitmo to abu ghraib to Afghanistan." I don't know how you think you are qualified to judge but based on your unethical conduct on this simple discussion thread, I'd say you are not. You encourage deceitfulness among your allies and have no credibility of your own when discussing a difficult topic. Carefulness in the context of war requires tremendous resources and a uniform code of ethics that is taken serious throughout the rank and file.

Yes, I do. The soldiers in question were brought to trial and found guilty. So, what exactly are you complaining about? The people involved were punished. You just come across as totally dumb about this. It is like you have a part of your brain missing that won't allow you follow simple logic. That's right. There was an attitude from Bush/Cheney on down that this kind of behavior was acceptable. Then how do you square that with the perpetrators being punished? The answer of course is that you don't and you can't. There have been a number examples of bad behavior by American soldiers. The murdering of the two Afghans was not the only example. But these are individuals acting without authorization who were tried and punished.
