Just a side note, I didn't think anyone actually believed that reasoning, I mean at all, because it was the most insanely moronic idea ever, that they hate us for our freedom and wealth..it was so far out of my mind that anyone could actually believe that..but Romney said it in his last speech (where he suspended his campaign)..I stopped listening to other candidates' speeches a long time ago but caught 5 minutes of Romney's, and it made me sad, that he actually said it, in a non-sarcastic way..there can't be many people left that are still under that dumb impression, surely..or so I hope. (I know you're using it sarcastically incase anyone reads this wrongly btw)
As for Abu Ghraib, despite the pictures and videos I still find it hard to imagine all the atrocities that occurr there, it's simply inhuman. Terrorist organisations will gain nothing but more support and more recruits as long as institutions like this are going on.
