Yes, well from most people's perspective Iraq was, is and will be a royal screw up by he who would be emperor.

People haven't forgotten the memos from Pentagon lawyer (appointed flunkies of this administration) and Cheney's office about Bush having absolute power to authorize torture!!! They wanted to ignore law setting Bush up as some absolute authority.

And what be really "upset" when the enemies of the USA started torturing our children?

BTW isn't "strange" how in Iraq that very kind of stupid torture happened without the administration's consent...Yet the person in charge said it was done with approval from above...

of course she's lying...and isn't that the standard answer by the Bush administration when confronted with an statment that fits the facts.

What is more likely a bunch of solders to blow off steam start torturing Iraqis or they do what they are told to do...still inexcusable...but more likely...
