An ugly angle to consider in this torture scandal [View All]

[WilliamPitt]

The pictures of this torture have made the global rounds. Smart money says they have been reprinted extensively in local Iraqi papers and on flyers. This will have accomplished two things:

1. Brought even more people out to fight against us;

2. Made it certain that any American soldiers captured or taken hostage will be tortured in retribution for these photos.

It's the second one that twists my stomach. God help the next 19 year old private who gets grabbed by Iraqi fighters.

Thanks, George.
