In reference to to Bush's PR Lady, Karen Hughes, remarks to Turkish women's concerns with the war in Iraq:
In speaking out against the conflict in Iraq, Tuksal (a Turkish woman) said that "in every photograph that I see from Iraq, I see the fear and concern in their eyes and I cannot relax."
"I feel the pain that you are feeling," Hughes said, but she added: "It is impossible to say that the plight of women was better under Saddam Hussein. Women were tortured, they had their children tortured in front of them."
Hmmmm... So, the fact that US Soldiers are commanded to torture children in front of their parents, and women tortured in front of their families... Apparently, that's better than under Saddam's regime. Maybe in your world, Ms. Hughes.

As I mentioned before, these soldiers will come home someday... They will be your neighbors, your kids' coaches, your co-workers.
And, yet, they will have committed and gotten away with far worse atrocities than the average US sex offender who must register and publish their domestic offense for public view.
Somehow I do not doubt that the issues, especially sex abuse caused by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) caused by the Iraq war crimes, may just rival or even topple the priest sex scandals.
