Despicable, Deplorable and Abhorrent! I can only hope the full weight of the UCMJ is thrown at the participants and that they are made to be an example that justice can be served upon those who abuse privilege.

It never ceases to amaze me how easily normally "good" people can be corrupted to put their morals aside when a mob mentality takes over. Regardless of why those prisoners were in our custody, there is no better time than the current to apply the golden rule, esp when the world is watching.
