Another part of the isolated pattern of abuse 

At what point did making anti-American propaganda come true become official US policy? Because we are going to pay for our offenses for a long time:

U.S. soldiers who detained an elderly Iraqi woman last year placed a harness on her, made her crawl on all fours and rode her like a donkey, Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal human rights envoy to Iraq said Wednesday.

This is sort of adventure is supposed to prevent future terrorism?

I wonder what effect Bush's constant implication that Iraq had a hand in 9/11 has had on our troops. Are people more likely to look the other way during abuse and torture if they think Baathist prisoners are somehow implicated in terrorism? Just a thought.
