You are correct here, BBB:
from Friday's "Intellectual Conservatis,.com":
Quote:Sure, it shouldn't have happened, and the people responsible should be punished, but let's not forget who we're talking about here. The victims of this abuse were un-uniformed enemy combatants, who were caught fighting on the side of Saddamite guerillas and terrorists! Do I need to remind this woman what these people are all about or the sort of acts they are capable of committing?

Sure, this might well happen.

It's like - at a question session in Paris with Tony Blair - French President Jacques Chirac warned: "Every time you humiliate, in one way or another, you create aggressive reflexes."
