Uh, actually an unkown number of prisoners have been murdered by their jailers - beaten to death, in most cases.Originally Posted by noname
You know before this Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal, Iraqis were doing bad to are troops before that. An this guy that was beheaded wasnt in the military, he was a civilian contractor. Those guys that abused the Iraqi prisoners, only humilated them. Nothing as bad as killing them all.
Besides, this latest terrorist crime has nothing to do with "Iraqis"; it was an Al Qaeda act. This has been confirmed.
Nothing can justify or excuse blatant acts of barbarism, by anyone. The contractor who was murdered was completely innocent; the Iraqis murdered and tortured in prison haven't been convicted of anything either, and most likely the majority weren't responsible for such acts of depraved cruelty. "An Arab did it to us, so we're allowed to do it to Arabs" is the worst possible reasoning in a situation like this.
