There is another aspect to this matter of Americans torturing or abusing their prisoners. It doesn't matter so much whs at you call it, it doesn't change what was done, but equally as important as our seeing and recognizing the evil we are doing is to realize that allowing, even encouraging our troops to do these things to prisoners forever changes their characters, usually for the worse. There are those who do see the wrongness of what they are doing and will come to speak out against it. Too many others become abusive people because of that behavior after having been encouraged to commit the acts.
