It's sad to see people so unable to separate issues. I am against the invasion of Iraq; it is a pointless battle. But none the less, condemning the war on the grounds of what *some soldiers* have done in Iraqi prisons is an argument I will not side with. IF the war had been a good idea, THEN what happened in Iraqi prisons serve only to stain those with responsibility and knowledge. They should of course be court-martialled and publicly exectuted (which for my own sake means I hope this goes all the way up to Rumsfeld). But I am ashamed to see those who - on the surface - agree with me resort to any cheap argument.
