So you think the US military's behavior in Abu Grave was appropriate?

Where? Never heard of any such place.

US to close Abu Ghraib 'torture prison'

In a report leaked in April, 2004, Major General Antonia Taguba of
the US Army concluded that soldiers had committed "egregrious acts
and grave breaches of law". He reported "sadistic, blatant and
wanton ciminal abuses" of prisoners.

The most notorious case was that of Private Lynddie England who
was jailed for three years after a picture of her holding a naked
inmate on a dog lead was circulated around the world.

The subsequent political scandal caused tremendous damage to the
public image of the coalition forces, with critics arguing that it
was representative of a broader American attitude towards Iraqis.

Thousands of people are held on suspicion of guerrilla activity
for many months. The United Nations and Iraqi ministers have
complained that the system is an abuse of human rights.


If you meant Abu Ghraib, why did you write Abu Grave?
