U.S. Units Still Abusing and Torturing Prisoners

Even more details of previously unknown prisoner abuse in Iraq have surfaced recently. I'm disgusted, utterly disgusted. This torture is being committed by American soldiers (Task force 6-26 in Camp name, Iraq to be specific). And we wonder why people hate us. Their problem with us is that we (meaning some in our government) are hypocrites who think we're above the laws and treaties we used to follow just like everyone else.
Supposedly, this unit has cleaned up after civilian officials in the DoD, CIA, and FBI became aware of what was going on, but I seriously doubt that much has been done. Some people have been punished, but now they've changed bases and increased their secrecy. The root of this problem is the administrations overall lack of planning for post-war Iraq. Now their authorizing any means to get intelligence and stop the insurgents (given, they've started cleaning house since Abu Ghraib). The problem is that it's not working.
Why should you care? Well, for starters, just because these people are Arabs or Muslims (the two aren't interchangeable) who might or might not be enemies of the U.S., they are still people. I know many of you don't see it that way. How's this then? Our reputation and image as Americans is being dragged through the mud. Yes, because we're a democracy, task force 6-26 and others are committing these acts in your name. As the greatest democracy in the world, we have no right to stoop to the level of terrorists and torture our prisoners. Unless we take the high road in Iraq, we cannot achieve victory. This stuff we're doing is just killing more Americans.
