That depends on how you define "isolated". I'm assuming that this has
happened more than once, but that hardly makes it systemic.

Wait a minute. We are expected to believe that these reservists came up
with things that Muslims specifically would see as humiliating? All by
themselves with no help? Do you think they took Arab Humiliation courses
at their local community college?

Well, I think it's safe to say that anyone would have found it
humiliating. Regardless, it's entirely possible that they were coached,
directed and/or encouraged. If so, the people who did so should be
punished at least as severely as those who perpetrated the acts.
However, that doesn't mean that all guards, supervisors and the like are
guilty or that these things occurred at all facilities. Time will tell.
