What leads to the kinds of things Billmon describes in these posts? At what cost do we the people ignore the consequences of our foreign policy? At the cost of the humanity of people who learn to find these things entertaining? At the price of callous disregard infecting the rest of us? How can we remain silent?
Our souls are sick. Our minds. Our country.
UPDATE: A busy day, and just now I read Juan Cole's excellent post on the same subject. He says it much better: "The brutalization of the US military and of its prisoners is a brutalization of the entire American public." His post is long, and excellent.
