You think wrong. Rush Limbaugh has said it was no more than frat hazing.
Even Don Rumsfeld said that it was "abuse," not torture. Being as how that
seems to be the attitude of some, and others take the "we're not as bad as
Saddam" approach, it is much more credible to me that these folks were
steered into these acts. This is not to say that the people who did these
things are any less guilty, it is just that not everyone involved (or who
comments) is filled with "absolute disgust." There are plenty who think it
is the result of a "few bad apples." I think it involves much more than
that. I do not believe a "few bad apples" chose prisoners in Iraq of all
places. How many military prisons are there? What are the odds?
