[link] Reflections on Abu Gharib

2 AM May 24, 2004

And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink—a reflection on humanity and Abu Gharib. I’m posting this link because it is the most thoughtful and humble piece I’ve found on the topic so far:

Just speaking for myself, I can’t imagine what those soldiers are going through. ... I’d be loathe to second guess what they did because I don’t honestly know what I’d do in the same situation.

The military force in Iraq are the representatives of all the countries that sent them. If our military has not waged war and kept peace in a humane manner, then we should be as much ashamed as outraged.
