One of my issues with the war is this crap

While I still support the war, one thing that has really hurt us (in the eyes of the rest of the world for sure) are the allegiations of abuse that have been made against both troops and contractors. Click the link below about one such example of abuse. It seems to show yet another case, just like the Abu Graib scandal, where there is no real accountability beyond the lower ranking people, if at all. You would think we would want to crush such activity and punish all those responsible, which would probably go a long ways convincing the rest of the world that we are better than Saddam was to them, but we just don't seem to get it. From what I read, sure sounds like its true, but sounds like we aren't doing a ton about it. And did we screen these companies first or just let "Thugs with a Truck" get security contracts over there?
