We have lost much this week. We will loose much more when the rest of the pictures and the video comes out. Instead of being something better, we have shown ourselves to be something worse. No American or coalition captives were ever tortured, humiliated and photographed like this. We have managed to make the muslem insurgence look civilized by comparison. A sad state of affairs for the invading army looking to bring civility to a tortured people.



Rumsfeld will go, but not only because of this. His war was based on faulty intelligence, we know that now. His planning was equally faulty, and many warned us of that fact. He sent tropps in that were not properly trained and not properly protected. As many as half of the US dead died because they didn't have the armour they needed.



The only good news is that this will cost Bush the election. Our country was gradually seeing the light, gradually turning against Bush. This will put many over the edge. The photos and the video that will come out will simply turn people's stomachs. People will finally start to understand the moral repugnancy of this administration's actions.
