The people who did those acts to the Iraqi prisoners are us. In them we see ourselves. We will act just like them in the same circumstance. Each of them had the need to humiliate others to feel better him or herself. It is because we hate ourselves that we act like animals. It does no good to pretend that those people aren't us. The are us as sure as we breathe. You cannot escape your truth by running away. To deny is to scape goat which is exactly what was going on. Always it is the other who is worthless. The other is the you you won't see, the one who hates you as enemy, your hidden self.

True.. no one thinks of themselves as an evil person. Hitler by this definition was on a higher moral ground than those yahoos in the pictures. Hitler held allot of justification and reasoning behind his horrendous actions after all.

The people in those pictures did what they out of unadulterated spite, malice, perversion and simply because they could.

What justifications did Hitler give?

Uhhhh national interest of Germany and the "Aryan Race".

It's really eerie how we're starting to see this kind of stuff emerge again in Europe.

One civilian contractor was accused of raping a young, male prisoner but has not been charged because military law has no jurisdiction over him.

Wtf? Why not charge him under civil law instead then?

Btw, if they really want to punish those guys they should be sentenced by an Iraqi court.

Those pictures truly show what kind of losers join the military. The whole US trailer trash population is over there.

Hey, why don't you go actually meet some military people before you start making broad generalizations like that. My wife is active duty USN and does not fit your ridiculous stereotype.
