No, long-winded reply as lesson, not punishment.

...completely legal...

Then what is all the hubbubb about? Why is Rumsfeld apologizing? Why did Bush apologize? Why the hearings?

Are you at all serious here? Once again:

Now, if you wish to go on and on about how terrible hooding a prisoner is and ignore that they were pissed upon, ridiculed, possibly beaten -- some possibly dying as a result -- and all while being photographed because it was neat, that's fine. Personally, I'd think you were missing a truly large picture here.

Your questions indicate that you are still apparently missing it.
