The Iraqi prisoners just had their pride hurt.

I think what those very few Americans did was out of line with our expectations of proper behavior. However, was it so out of control as to warrant a national apology? No it doesn't. Cases like this are far more common in domestic prisons and are accepted.

Of course I don't condone treating anyone in such a manner. But to use the word torture to describe the events that took place is just media hype.
