1. Sick, isn't it. These morons couldn't find their ass with both hands
at this point. When you are in a hole... a sensible person will stop digging... but not these yayhoos. Fubarred beyond repair we are.

2. Once again, it's not our own actions that make us look bad,
it's those people who insist on talking about our actions who make us look bad. This is one evil administration.

3. There's some cultures that take desecration of bodies very seriously.
If we're going to be occupying their countries, it behooves us to understand and respect these attitudes no matter how "silly" they may seem to some people in our culture.

I guess Rummy is once again concerned about our guys getting got and the information getting publicized. The actual torture and desecration is okay, just the getting caught that's the problem.:eyes:

4. Our actions not only make
us look bad, prove that we ARE bad. We invade another country, bully it's citizenry, insult their culture. Where where those in charge who were versed on customs? Another incident to prove positive to the world that we are truly the terrorists.
