And how did we find out about these atrocities???
ANd why are these "soldiers" being brought to justice???
Because we are a free open society with a moral and fair rule of law. These homegrown monsters will also meet the punishment they deserve. Can the same be said for Hezbollah?, since apparently we are making comparisons between what individuals in a free society have done, with a group that has made it their mandate to kill all Jews. THis comparison is absolutely absurd.

I think we found out about Abu Girab because one soldier had the courage to face down his own military and let out the truth. He's received death threats because of it, too. These are individuals in a free society making these threats, by the way. And how many of the abusers have received any sort of sentence? Just two, correct? (Let me know if I'm wrong on this; I'd be really happy to be wrong). And the men in charge of the military go free or get medals from the President.
(Not that I think we're all that free anymore, anyway...)
Mind you, I'm not condoning Hezbollah. I was just responding to a post that asked how we'd even know whether America was committing any illegal acts of war.
And yes, moderate Moslems should be condemning the behavior of the radical ones. No question.
