It's called hypocracy and bullshit and the action of a regime which is out of control.

Nice way to go off on an unrelated tangent. I brought up the point about 40 guys having their skulls crushed for nothing more than being Shiites. Perhaps they were protesting. I don't know. Like i said, i only know what i read in the article.
The US are not killing people in the most brutal ways they can think of simply for being who they are, or voicing an opinion that the US disagrees with.
Yeah, you can go on about the prisoner abuse scandal. And yes, it's fucked up. Very fucked up, especially considering how many people knew about it. But the abuse of falsely imprisoned Shiites in Iraq was sanctioned by Saddam's government. It was routine to take a completely innocent person off the street for years of torture, never to be seen again, because he ended up in a mass grave on the prison grounds.
