I agree this was a particularly sickening account, if its true. And its torture too.
That said, you earlier said this would drive you to violence if it happened to your son. Ironically!!!, this allegedly happened to his son because he had been driven to violence. Chicken/egg problem here?
I ain't justifying it though. We don't intentionally punish the weak or the innocent or whatever, and it sounds like someone did here.
Oh, and would anyone like to change their answer on Karpinski? Anyone in command on-site there should be taken to task for the lack of discipline there. And if she was following illegal "orders" (yeah, right), why didn't get them "in writing"?
Ooh, ooh. Did someone just mention affirmative action?
