HORRIFYING, UTTERLY HORRIFYING This news is just sickening. These people should be punished to the fullest extent that the Uniform Code of Military Justice permits. In addition to being ridiculously counter-productive in terms of our larger goals in Iraq, it's just plain evil. Remember how the barbarism of the Iraqi regime - the "rape rooms" et alia - was part of the justification for invading the country? ugh.
