You do understand the difference don't you?
Sure I do, and my post wasn't intended as an attack on the US Military or the administration. It was merely meant to highlight the disconnent I see between the many who rationalize the war in Iraq as liberation from tyranny and brutality while silmultaneously excusing (and even encouraging) acts of tyranny and brutality.

I brought up Abu Ghraib not because the incidents are related, but because I'd encountered this same disconnect during that scandal.
