Do you really think that the beheading was in "response" to the abuse at the prison or do you think that the beheading would have happened anyway? I think the abuse makes a fine excuse for barbarism on the part of the iraqis, but if the abuse didn't occur, they would have just found another excuse to do what they want.
And, that is what they do which is why we supposedly started this war. Little did we know that some of the Americans would commit atrocities as bad as the "evil" people we were going to "bring to justice."
I read that, at last count, 25 prisoners have been killed by their captures. I wonder what revelations will come to light next....
