Sickening. Absolutely disgusting.
This is the reason why the world hates the U.S. It’s not just these incidents, but also the outrageous double standards employed by the Bush administration (anybody remember Bush protesting and saying the Iraqi government would pay for broadcasting footage of American prisoners?). The outrageous arrogance of your government in invading a country without international backing, effectively without provocation (after having been waging low-level conflict with them ever since 1991) and for economic motives.
Having said this, I’m British and our government are almost as guilty as the Bush regime (they didn’t instigate the idea, but they sure as hell went along with it). Tony Blair truly is George Bush’s poodle.
