New Details of Prison Abuse Emerge

Read the link above. everyone should. I'm so bothered by the actions of these people, as well as the ongoing fight for "tort reform" here locally, that i'm on the verge of just being depressed over human nature. i'm not up to writing or reading any of the stuff that is out there right now. i don't know if i can take it.

These people were tortured by their 'liberators'. further it was reported that 70-90% of the people detained here in these instances were wrongly detained and the released. regardless of anyone's guilt for any offenses...it is not our business to torture.

furthermore, i'm tired of conservatives that simultaneously argue that this was the work of a few bad eggs (this is proving untrue) AND that this sort of humiliation is worth it for the lives that are protected.

Well which is it? you can't have both of those at the same time.
