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?

Thanks, I will! Did you see in the news that the one guy was sentenced to ten years? I'm glad there's starting to be some accountability with this, but I don't doubt for a moment that he was "just following orders." The people giving the orders will probably never be held accountable.

I saw him waddling in cuffs. Then the screen pulled back and he was shown with cuffs on his ankles as well. Even the newscaster got in a line of snark.

Unfortunately, you're probably right though.
