Our dinner conversations are always quite colorful and normally quite thought provoking. Last night, our conversation gravitated to that of the torture that has been happening in Baghdad and Guantomino Bay, which, I might add, is not recommended to discuss quite eating.

But, the questions posed were as follows; how can we retain the "moral high ground" if we are doing the very thing we are supposed to be liberating them from? Can we then dismiss the entire cause as wrong and unjust because SOME people are behaving unethically? How can we say support the troops with such a action? How can we let the actions of a few troops errode the support for thousands? Is it fair to say such behavior is inevitable because of the depravity of man?

These thoughts and questions were bounced around, with many answers and opinions, but it caused me to ponder for awhile.
