Does the prison torture count as "evil?"
Bush's comments about this incident were strangely weak, compared to his
very forceful talk about how the U.S. is charged with ridding the world of evil.

1. I would call them evil.
No good person would do something like that to others. I can even understand some levels of torture to get info, but that was beyond torture. That was just evil.

2. Oh, but they would
All people have the capability to do good and evil. Even the most despicable people in recent human history (OBL, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Milosevic, and yes, even Saddam) are not inherantly evil people - they are inherantly human, and chose to do evil.

Then again, I don't believe that evil can be incarnated, just as good can not be incarnated.

3. It looked to me like they were "having fun"
especially pointy girl. What they did and likely are still doing more discreetly is evil. I hope it sickens * to the point the he recognizes what he has unleashed on the world.But he is probably upset because the pictures got out not because of the torture and perversion It makes me wonder what is happening at camp X-RAY. I wonder too if there are dungeons under the WH where * and bent-dick can "enjoy" themselves.
