Yes, and that is why they don't let the families of the crime victims serve as guards for prisoners.

Just because a desire towards an action is understandable doesn't mean it should be condoned.

Like I said, I'm not sad at all if Hussein was unhappy. And in the annals of attempts by prison guards to humiliate their prisoners showing a movie over and over is hardly that egregious.

I still don't find it amusing. It is, after all, essentially the same feeling that humiliation of prisoners was ok because it was cathartic that lead to creating a naked prisoner pyramid. There is hardly a history suggesting that prison guards can be trusted to stop at "playful vaguely amusing and ironic humiliation."

And of course, there is the idea that even in the face of provocation there is dignity in being the better person.
