Our military had control over whether the images would be shown.
This is not about what Hussein did. Again, two wrongs don't make a right, and saying we shouldn't investigate what happened because Saddam was a monster, is wrong. We have tarnished our image and terrorized an entire country for several years, tortured, etc. and we must address this.
Many of us believe Bush Co. wanted to go into Iraq from the start, 9-11 gave them the excuse, and they cooked the intel. I believe it.

That’s the problem the peace for the sake of peace people aren’t ever going to sanction any military action even if an overwhelming majority of Americans do deem it necessary.
Damn right. Do you think democracy means if we can get a big enough mob together, we can attack? Or that thoughtful people should follow the herd when we see a better way? That's the type of massive group think that got us into this bed of quicksand. And I don't follow it wishing ill for our country because we dislike the leaders. I wanted Bush to pull his head out of his ass and let our country succeed, but he did almost everything wrong.

With that being said I’ll suggest that the current shame you feel over your military service has less to do with Bush and more to do with a change in your political ideology over time.
Horseshit. You don't know me, or my history. I was proud of my service and a liberal before Bush, and I'm proud now. But there was a point when in Army Intelligence and working for the NSA were being raked through a mud puddle by the Bush administration. Ideally, you would not hear a peep about these things.
Yeah McCain is a hero, I always said that. So is John Kerry. I still can't understand how the Republicans threw mud on someone with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts.
I about fell out of my chair when Orin Hatch told the world we were listening to Osama's cell phone!! Day after 9-11. Holy Mother Fucking Shit! We could have had Osama and the biggest portion of his organization if the Bushies would have been competent. But they wanted to spread democracy, or some such bullshit. Jesus holy fucking Christ on a Christmas Tree, no wonder I felt ashamed at what happened.
