Re: OT: Atrocities
I think the biggest problem is lack of real, quality information. Not the stuff the news media hands us, which is always slanted one way or the other, but real hard facts that cannot be disputed. Sure, pictures could be considered "hard" evidence, but we all know pictures can be manipulated to show whatever people want.
I'm not saying the pictures of torture and abuse are false, I'm just saying that we really have no way of knowing what is really happening over there in Iraq. No one does, except those who are over there, fighting for their lives.
For this reason, I think it is very difficult to form an opinion on matters such as these, when all of us here lack any quality information.
And here's a scary thought: What atrocities are occurring over there that we know nothing about?? Perhaps by the forces of both sides of the conflict??
