They represent us when they are in uniform. They are "we" over there. They, the US soldiers, are torturing people in Abu Ghraib and beyond, yet we were supposed to be there liberating people. We don't have a leg to stand on when we are being hypocritical.
Look at the pictures. These soldiers act like their playing a video game or something.
I agree with that Turkish activist's reamark to Karen Hughes who is trying to improve the US reputation in the Middle East.

She's right, Hughes is out of touch... The 5 week vacation cowboy (Bush) and his supporters are out of touch. Harsh as they may be, stories like these can put things into perspective.
