The difference between the free world and the Islamic world is not that one side never does anything wrong. It is that in the West those who transgress ethical and legal bounds are punished; in the Islamic world they are celebrated as heroes. From AP:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The highest ranking soldier charged in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal was sentenced to eight years in prison for abusing inmates at Abu Ghraib during a court martial Thursday in Baghdad.
Staff Sgt. Ivan "Chip" Frederick, 38, of Buckingham, Va., was also given a reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay and a dishonorable discharge. The sentencing came a day after he pleaded guilty Wednesday to eight counts of abusing and humiliating Iraqi detainees.

I totally agree that the punishment fits the crime. Those soldiers were an utter disgrace. It's a shame that it gave all the other honorable soldiers a bad name.
I will however say that those Iraqis that were piled up naked outta thank thier lucky goddamn stars that they were never subjected to Saddam's torture meathods. Or Zarqawi's........ ...your head winds up on your back.
