So what was that bit about the brutality of Americans who videotaped prisoners naked--and even, it is alleged, forced them to wear women's underwear?????? It pales in comparison to this beheading--doesn't it?!??

There were tons of FReepers who were all worked up about those terrorist prisoners being "tortured" and those "atrocities". Where are the idiots now??

What these Satan-worshipping savages did to Nick Berg was an atrocity and was torture.

Humiliation, discomfort, and stripping of prisoners are not. Forcing them to wear women's underwear is also neither torture not an atrocity. As means of interrogation, all of these are proper.

Photographing naked prisoners in quasi-sexual positions was stupid. Sexual exploitation of prisoners is not to be tolerated by civilized people. Any military personnel who do this are to be court martialed.

It is a sign of the moral depravity of the Democrats that they have attempted to exploit this issue for purposes of propaganda.
