Torture

Just to echo Jude's last post - I agree that the press should be using the word "torture." It seems strange to me since the press really jumped on top of the story that they would continually downplay the events by calling them abuse. This comes from the "America can do no wrong" attitude that so many people have. The media is saying that the rest of the world may torture, but not America. We just have soldiers that made a few mistakes because they weren't trained in how to handle POWs. Well not to get up on my high horse or anything, but I've never had any training on how to treat POWs (or detainees) but I think I can safely say that I wouldn't have taken it upon myself to undress them, place them in lude poses, and photograph them. Shameful.
