I don't even think you believe that....
I havent seen it yet btw, so I cant really have an opinion about it yet, other then that human rights groups claim that a HUGEeeeeeeeeeee majority of the prisoners in the Abu Graihb prison is innocent.
And maybe they are... but then you'll get civil rights campaigners tell you that Myra Hindley was misunderstood and Peter Sutcliffe "a nice bloke really". It's their job. It makes them feel good inside to defend the indefensible. I truly hope the innocent ones go free.
But even if they ARE guilty (of what?), they dont deserve the treatment they were given. No excuses.
Obviously, it's not how we would have went about interogation... as this was just mindless cruelty that served little or no purpose; but I can't honestly say I would feel any sympathy for the guilty being tortured if it did lead to life-saving information.
