I initially was horified, but the more and more I think of it, the more and more I say fuck it, war is hell (at least with regards to the foreign fighters).

There is no "whatever" here.
Moreover, as your pasing reference indicates, you may be aware that many of the folks in Abu Ghraib prison (and thus, presumably at least some of the abused) had no real connection to the war effort against the U.S. MG Taguba's report estimated that number at 60% of the prison population at Abu Ghraib.
In a WaPo article today regarding the internal back-and-forth about Rumsfeld in the administration, the article noted that "some administration officials" were saying that Paul Bremer had been telling the Pentagon as far back as last fall that the military was holding too many people for too long under very bad conditions, but that he had received "resistsance" from Rumsfeld over any change in the way things were done.
Your reaction -- as expressed in this post is unthinking and mindless. It does no credit to you, to the causes you support, or to this country. Fuck them? No, sir, fuck you.
