Exactly and i'm saying there is no comparison.

It's .002% btw, but that's irrelevant, there is no acceptable rate for violent torture and abuse of prisoners by AQ or the US and both should be bought to account.
.00166 actually, and it is highly relevant. You'll never see any army ever that won't have some of its members cross the line but unlike our enemies the US has little tolerance for it and punishes the transgressors when we catch them. AQ on the other hand glorifies torture and murder.
You don't see a basic difference in that?
