I do not think it is reasonable in any way. What is to be answered are the following:

1) was it a single event or are there numerous
2) was it always the same person/group committing the abuse
3) was it sanctioned
4) was it accepted

Once we have the answers to this we can say that the abuse was a lapse in judgement of a 20 something year old 4000 miles from home who needed a way to vent his frustrations or we have to condemn the whole outfit that was running that prison....
Before we throw all the MP's in the pot of human rights abusers and torchurers, I think they deserve to be held innocent until proven guilty....
