Are the men that did this to these prisoners, now deemed innocent, will someday return home to the US.
The ones that ordered/orchestrated it, are contemptible. I imagine they have not been changed by their experience.
But what about the other guys, the soldiers, medics, guys that delivered food, etc. that have been exposed to this kind of crap. How will they return? What have we done to them? Let alone the people that were there trying to change things. The JAGS, the ministers, etc. that witnessed it upfront and have tried to stop it.
I read a story years ago about a very Christian, from Alabama I think, military guard that kept trying to give small hints of kindness to prisoners at Gitmo. The story hurt to read, I think the story was told by a released inmate. I worry about him, too.
I'm even more disgusted by the embrace of Lieberman than I was before.
