actually, memnoch, the obvious come back would probably go more along the lines of "no torture actually occurred."

the courts martial will probably send those soldiers home, but realize that the "torture" those people were put through doesnt even amount to one day in the life of any american POW's in vietnam. last time i checked, it isnt against the geneva convention to scare the crap out of a prisoner and make them think you'll torture them, only to actual things which will cause harm.

although, i agree, for regional stability and healthy public relations, these soldiers should not have done this, shouldnt have taken pictures, and should be courtsmartialed and sent home.
