I believe U. S. authorities are taking steps to punish those who committed the atrocities against the Iraqi prisoners, and also taking steps to ensure that such behaviour is not going on in other prisons. Further, I believe steps will be taken to see that it doesn't happen again. The damage to U. S. credibility these few bad apples caused is immense, not to mention the abuse the prisoners endured.

However, I don't recall similar outpourings of rage from Mudcatters when it was reported that four U. S. civilian contractors were killed and their bodies hung from bridges, or dragged through the streets of Fallujuh, when that occured.

Why not?
