Is there any reason at all that these two haven't been given the death penalty? Ten years of prison for killing, mutilating, torturing, and humiliating so many people? What the hell? Am I missing something here? Here in California we give the death penalty to people who murder several people. So why is someone who has done so much worse being allowed to live? Life in prison!? no? What the fuck? A 10 year sentence? Remember Tookie? What was his crime? He killed four people in a burglary. Four people, and he got a death sentence. How many people killed at Gitmo? How many killed at Bagram? How many killed at Abu Ghraib? Who knows. The photographs show at least 5 people have died (the rest were "just" tortured). And that's just the photographs currently released. Who knows what else is there? And also, the videos. A lot of people do not even know of the videos. And the punishment is 10 years in prison? If we really wanted to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqis, every single officer acknowledging the abuse should have been executed. That would have been the correct message to send. America is the fucking defender of freedom, and we take our freedom seriously. If some "bad apples" do something, then we will punish them to the fucking extent of the law. There is no excuse. By any means necessary.
