No one, least of all me, is saying what a few soldiers did to those prisoners
was "fine." I did say that gouging out someone's eyes is a lot worse than
standing over a naked man with a shotgun. The former is torture, the latter
abuse. A 6-year old can tell the difference, but apparently not Chomsky..
Now have a nice evening.
