You call that torture? BWAHAAHAHA, hardly.
Check out the book "Flyboys" when you get some free time. You'll read about some nice torture in there.

the fact that news got out shows that the high level commanders are not trying to hide anything (maybe the underlings who did it are though, but they are in the minority)

You're probably right about that. Torture of POW's is a fact of life. I don't think the majority of prisoners were abused though. I'd much rather be tortured by Americans than by the Iraqis....at least you know you'll live through some humiliation.

Pyro, would you please stop trying to stir up the whole nationality flame war again?

Thank you in advance for trying not to act like a spoiled 12-year old.

Not too sure about that.....but i do remember seeing images of American troops who were ahot in the head and left for dead lying in a pool of blood. Also, wasn't Jessica Lynch sexually abused by her captors?

It started a civil discussion and didn't turn into a flame war though.
