Once again, we Americans prove that people born on the North American Continent AREN'T chosen by god, as our politicians so often claim. But leaving politics out of it, I think the worst part of this is that the soldiers are going out of their way to make the Iraqis feel inhuman. Not that Humanity's that great in the first place, but seriously. At this point all one can do is watch the news roll in and go "Oh, right. I'd forgotten for a minute that Americans ARE the terrorists. Because it was never obvious before this." I'm not sure it comes over that well digitally, but that's my attempt at sarcasm.
This war was never about liberation, so I'm sure the soldiers are thinking "Who cares if we rape a few Iraqis? They bombed us, they deserve it." Oops, my mistake. Iraq never did bomb us. This war was pre-emptive. And pre-emptive is another word for unjustified.
As for those who suggest we shouldn't be shocked or disgusted because we've seen it all before, you might want to rethink you're concept of humanity. Just because this was easily spotted "a mile off" doesn't mean that that excuses the vile nature of it.
Once again, I agree with Stattik's position.
