What bothered me the most as I listened to Rumsfeld's phony, self-serving apology today is the fact that if not for some dumb-***** grunts taking pictures and sending them home, (and really digital camera technology which did not exist for consumers as recently as the 1st Gulf war), this mistreatment would
still be occuring as I type this.
It was absolutely tolerated on a widespread basis, and either he knew about it and is a war criminal, or he was not in control of something as important as the treatment of POWs. Ignorant rednecks are trying to justify it by mentioning the way that Daniel Perle was murdered, etc., this garbage totally increases the chances of one of our own being tortured or killed in enemy custody! How do you think that some of our boys treated a Nazi or a Viet Cong when they got ahold of them, in response to what the other side had done? It really makes my blood rise.
