This isn't the righteousness of an army, it's the righteousness of a few dickheads.
I don't SUPPORT this whole thing, but a few pictures of war prisoners being shamed isn't the ''straw that breaks the camel's back'', for me... duh, of course this shit is happening. Napolean teabagged a dude once or twice, I bet.
Two straight posts involving teabagging... score!

must admit I was fucking pissed off the brits got caught doing the same, not to mention how wrong it is
does any of this really surprise you though? end of the day its a war and not everyone is going to act like a 'gentleman' or whatever
its this whole fucking cnn 'precision' bombing view of late that lull's everyone into thinking that only bad people are targeted and that those people getting blown up by missiles are just 'bad' people loving working for saddam

Yeah probably, and more bizarre things than that, like two million Jews being exterminated...why don't we just blame humanity.

Thanks for the thread Jonesy...
The problem with the media reporting is that they don't show the consequences of bombing, like a Hollywood film like Bad Boys, Dirty Harry (insert example here)or something similar. Its easy to become desensitized to the violence seen and I am not surpised if people are initially amazed at the goings on. In a violent film myself I like to see the consequences like Saving Private Ryan.
This case was diabolical human degradation and from what I keep seeing on the news in Fallehjuh (sic) some pretty bad behaviour on the part of the American soliders. Further to that the progoganda surrounding the British soldiers version of events, did they, didn't they adds to the media bullshit.

Too right B3n
You are not likely to see pictures of small children with their heads and limbs blown as a result of precision bombing, the human rights violations are not that isolated as some people may think.
I read somewhere that CIA were involved in the intergogations at the prison so go figure and claims that from the soliders involved that they were following their orders.
