Thanks for that comment, because I heartily agree, and it redeems the whole thread.
I wish that your comment could be translated into Arabic, and broadcast all over the place, because it reflect the opinions of decent people. People in Iraq probably need to hear it.
One thing which some posters are saying - that why are people upset about this - it is not as if the prisoner is being run over by a tank etc. - are rather missing the point. The prisoner might prefer to be run over by a tank. In Middle Eastern culture, sexual shame is one of the worst emotions, and for a man to be sexually handled by another male is disgusting.
Every one of those men will be a good recruit for the suicide bomber squads, if he gets out of prison. And everyone of them, whether he gets out or not, will have an uncle, a cousin, a younger brother and even a wife eager to avenge him.
