What troubles me is that the outrage is coming from the same people that believed that destroying a regime that did far worse to its prisoners, many of whom were there for political reasons, rather than criminal reasons, was not worth the effort. We weren't putting them in Uday's Iron Maiden. And I'm pretty sure the voltage in the batteries was a lot higher when Saddam had them wired up.
We should not be treating prisoners like that, and certainly not photographing it as if it were a trophy. But on the ranking of indignties, it's pretty far down the list.
