37. Knowing something and seeing it are completely different things.
Are you telling me that, for instance, you wouldn't get mad in the least if you sat down and leafed through a set of photos showing the torture at Gitmo?

You wouldn't be even a little upset watching video of an American soldier raping an Iraqi woman?

Now imagine how the Iraqis would feel after years of living under the constant chaos and anger that they have. Think of how strongly those photos would bring back every ounce of collective rage they've ever felt towards Americans and American troops.

You really think that that's a GOOD thing for the peace and tranquility of Iraq?
