There's a great opinion piece by Anne Applebaum of the Washington Post about how any society-even democratic ones can treat their enemies like animals.
I would hope that the revelations of torture by American soliders of Iraqi prisoners would serve as a wakeup call to our Administration that Americans are not above the fray of human depravity. I wouldn't bet the farm on it, though.
