And the DC political circus gets even more ridiculous

[The Man]

The Abu Gharib torture photos and other incidents like them are the best recruiting tools al-Qaeda could ask for. Do you honestly mean to say that you believe that incidents like these AREN'T going to cause more people to turn against us? "Some of them already hate us" is NOT a valid reason to go throw caution to the wind and torture random prisoners at will. Doing that makes us no better than them, and on a purely practical level is just going to piss off MORE Arabs anyway.

Read about Bagram. Turned into another Abu Gharib. Turns out at least two people were beaten to death, and one was just some taxi driver who wandered in randomly. How is this not going to turn a TON of people who had very little against the U.S. into vehement, vigilant enemies? It's cracked to believe this isn't harming our cause.
