Addendum to an earlier post titled Thank You, America. Here’s the Washington Post’s slideshow of pictures from Abu Ghraib. It’s nasty, and probably not the nastiest pictures, even.
I think if the US Army merely courtmartials these soldiers, it’s a miscarriage of justice. Sad to say but I think it would be much better if they were tied up, hooded, and dropped off, unarmed, in downtown Baghdad with a note explaining who they are. That might defuse things a little bit, America showing that those animals are their own enemy as well as the enemy of the people of Iraq.
But we can’t hope for that to happen, I suppose.
