Looking at the pictures of the disgusting, degrading and humiliating treatment dished out to some of the Iraqi prisoners of war by some of the so-call "civilised" American forces is proof that extreme elements exist in all forces and these culprits are no better behaved or disciplined than the Iraqis, some of whom are receiving the same treatment from the American forces as they did from Saddam Hussein.

Since this incident happened in a democratic country that claims to be the bastion of democracy and human rights, the elected leaders should offer their resignation. I wonder if President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld will now do the honourable thing.
