The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
Rather than further ugly debate on the torture, here's a song Beatle John wrote about one of the terrible scenes from Vietnam, when soldier Bill C. followed orders:

Hey Bungalow Bill
What did you kill
Bungalow Bill? (chorus)

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mom
He's the all American bullet-headed saxon mother's son
All the children sing

chorus

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
So Captain Marvel zapped in right between the eyes
All the children sing

chorus

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in
If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him
All the children sing

chorus

Yes, bush has blood on his hands, and will not have dick cheney to help him when he is called to testify in front of the Cosmic Commission yet to come. But if he told you to rape and torture your neighbor, would you? If you would, who is responsible? Ask yourself if to rape, torture and murder is not a sin.
