Subject: RE: BS: American Soldiers Torturing Iraqis
You just confirmed my point about "community responsibility", ard mhacha. The communities of Ford Ashby, Virginia and La Vale clearly applaud Lynddie's actions and are likely moral accomplices, because it looks like they helped forge Lynddie's mindset. Now, tell me someone, why should not those communities be shown publicly for the yahoos they are? Perhaps in a documentary a-la "Bowling for Columbine"?

This may sound like "collective punishment", but then let any Ford Ashby citizens who disagree with Lynddie's actions distance themselves. Or move. Otherwise tacit agreement is implied.

Unless we look at the roots of the cause, we only allow more Lynddies to be created.
