Marine Torture

According to an interview with an American contractor in Iraq, Marines have tortured other Americans because of bitterness at the amount of money the private contractors make. Sixteen Americans were beaten (slammed against cement floors, crushed testicles) and humiliated (how does it feel to make that contractor money now?).

And some of you wonder why I am against this war? It doesn't matter if the contractors started the dispute (as alledged by the Marines). The fact of the matter is... American Marines, who are supposed to protect the rights of our citizens, have turned into the very terrorists they purport to be fighting against.

The Marines have made a statement: The detainees were treated humanely and respectfully. I wonder if that is the same treatment as reported at Abu Grab?
