The fact that this torture and humiliation is not systemic (assuming it is not) is not the issue. It is still detrimental to world peace, let alone peace in the region, and it is also indicative of the wider perception of Iraqi's in the eyes of American soldiers. That is not saying that the majority of American soldiers support this kind of thing, but that they are all presented with the reasons for doing so. Does it not worry you that these are the kind of people the army culture is producing? Even if they are being produced in small numbers I'd want to know why personally...
