68. Well, there is a difference...
The difference is that this is America, and contrary to what seems to be the popular belief, we don't tolerate torture of those entrusted to our care under the guise of "liberation". With this sort of activity going on is it any wonder our guys are mutilated and drug through the streets? Do you think the actions of these animals will win us favor with the Iraqi's? How about the organized resistance thats kicking our asses?

Additionally, those 'contract workers' you mentioned are very well trained mercenaries who don't play by the same rules as the military and have partaken in their fair share of torture and abuse. I'm sorry, but I don't have any compassion for them. Read more about those 'contract workers' here:

Stripped and humiliated? Surely you have seen the pictures? No? Here are a few for you:



Maybe your son would like to be drug around on a leash?



Or maybe you can explain how this picture is somehow humiliating rather than some kind of torture? (Ill give you the stripping part...it makes the electrical conductivity so much better)



I suppose that using a pair of womens underwear to cover a Muslims face is just 'humiliation' right? Or does it cross the line to torture when he is apparently stripped down and strapped to a bunk? Are you aware of how the Muslim faith views things like this? Probably not...if you do, you don't care.



And this individual looks so embarrassed to be HANDCUFFED to a cage wall. I forget...is this humiliation or torture?

I was nice and didn't include the photo of the individual that was allegedly murdered.

If the torture by our troops has been going on as long as it is rumored to have, then I certainly cant blame the Iraqi's for taking out their aggressions on our troops when they are caught. Karma is a bitch and this is one of the main reasons why this shitty administration needs to go. We will have no standing in the world and our citizens will be (have become) targets for decades to come.

Liberators indeed. "Meet the new boss...."
