Dishonorable Conduct
"He who fights monsters should take care lest he thereby becomes a monster." Nietzsche
Inexcusable behavior from what's supposed to be some of America's (and Britain's) finest, wasn't it?
"I can't describe what I felt when I saw those scenes; they revolted me and proved the barbarity of the occupation forces," said Mohammad Salman, a traffic policeman.
"What's the difference between them and Saddam? They are finishing what he started," he said.
The difference is, as Laurence points out, those responsible will be punished & condemned, not rewarded & praised, for their reprehensible actions.
And that makes all the difference in the world.

I hope they get what's coming to them. Regardless of what they did/did not know about the Geneva Convention rules, it's just plain wrong & I don't see how anyone could talk their way out of this deep, deep shit they're in.
