If you are comparing what our government does in the name of freedom and security to what groups of thugs and terrorists do then you've pretty much already made our point for us.
Would you rather be a "suspected terrorist" in whatever unnamed prison we've set up to replace Abu Ghraib or an American captured by Islamic terrorists. Two to three years of torture followed by either possible release or death(if they just decide "forget" they have you in custody) OR ... 4-5 weeks of torture followed by near certain death. We'd all probably choose the U.S. prison experience and hope but the idea that there is any moment of pause when choosing between the two is what is so upsetting.
