Oh. Right. OK.

djm4_ljAbu Grahib soldiers did not abuse prisoners. They used 'valid control techniques'. Yes, they kept them on leashes, but parents at airports do that to toddlers, so that's OK. Yes they stacked them into naked human pyramids, but cheerleaders all over America form pyramids (I admit it's news to me that the cheerleaders in question are naked and being pointed at and laughed at, but I suppose it's possible), so that's OK, too.
Context, guys, context.
If I recall correctly, they got some of the prisoners to simulate masturbation. I suspect this is going to be pronounced OK because we do it to pigs. In other news, rape is a valid control technique because married couples have sex occasionally, and sticking a prisoner's head in a bucket of freezing cold water until they're half drowning is only like baptism.
The line about "In Texas we'd lasso them and drag them out of there," doesn't surprise me as much as perhaps it should, either.
