We all know about the Abu Ghriab prison abuse. Let's hear some suggestions for how to punish the perpetrators of this.

I say a court martial isn't enough. Jail time would help.

A starring role in "Queer as Folk" for one episode! :P

I notice that the first to be court-martialed is not accused of touching any of the prisoners.
He is the one who took the pictures.
It is clear that the military and the administration are most upset not about the abuse but about the publicity; that is why they will make an example of this unfortunate soldier.

"Shoot the Messenger" mentality or "Head the Sand" attitude

disgusting!

Yeah I say they should publicly humiliate these soldiers in teh exact same way (nudity, pictures).... then they should beat them about the head and body with rifles... then they should bag their head, tie their hands and feet and put a note on them that says "punish this US Soldier" and put him out on the streets in Iraq.

Lets set the soldiers on fire and film it and send it to Al Jizima :P
