I wish the news shows would stop displaying those pictures of the torture victims. It's a terrible thing to have happened and it needs to remain in the public consciousness, but I believe that every time those pictures are shown those poor men are re-victimized. Public sexual humiliation was an important part of the torture. Isn't that what the news shows are doing over and over again?

Yes, Abu Ghraib. It just upsets me every time I see it. I don't want to see it. I don't want to have those images in my head. It's bad enough knowing that one human being did that (and does that still--you know it's happening somewhere right now) to another human being without having to see it over and over again.
