BBC NEWS | Middle East | Abu Ghraib pyramids 'not wrong'

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Abu Ghraib pyramids 'not wrong'

As I read this article, a lump rose to my throat, and I had to hold back my breakfast. There is a genuinely cavalier attitude to our actions in the Middle East, and the real victims are the people who never pick up a gun. To be certain, the soldier certainly deserves the right of representation that he denied his victims (read: prisoners). Radical factions see this as another brick in the wall. I don't think that Bush could have given Bin Laden a better birthday / wedding present than to invade Iraq.
