Reply #43: Nobody's scapegoating anybody here

The government might be, but nobody here is. And your argument about showing you a verdict is total bullshit and you know it. There hasn't been a trial. That doesn't change the fact that the invasion was illegal.

And like I said, just because the higher ups haven't been prosecuted doesn't take away the guilt of those who actually did the torturing. Your attempt to say that they have no guilt is both childish and dangerous. People are responsible for their own actions.

Like I said, if there's a soldier there that knew what was going on was wrong, and took appropriate action in getting the story out, then that proves that people are capable of knowing right from wrong, even in a war zone and even when under orders. Fuck Lyndie England. It's too bad that those who ordered the torture will likely never be prosecuted, but she chose to do their bidding. She chose to take part in their war of aggression, and she chose to commit their atrocities for them. No excuses. And no sympathy from me. You can moan about the injustice of it all you want but I personally think you are beyond naive and extremely misguided for doing so. Your compassion would be better spent someplace else.
