I hear you, and our apparent enemy is saying if you can catch you some of them women soldiers, they're your slaves!!! so who are we really shocking, etc.
If the abuse here was "getting our hands dirty" to coerce these guys to detail where bombs were stored or something it would be different maybe. Its just that is seems the abuse was only done to abuse.
I mean is there a claim that these soldiers did this to loosen the prisoners up, and make them start talking? I haven't really heard that.
