How does Abu Graib qualify as an outrage compared to the kinds of things that are typically done by all sides, even in wars you'd probably consider just? For that matter compare Abu Graib with how our enemies in this routinely treat captives.
It was gratuitous. This is unlike other situations with worse consequences like death, such as when an explosive goes off-course or a target is misidentified.
The examples I had in mind were also gratuitous. This is an example of what I was referring to.
Or to use an example from the Iraq war, consider that at the time standard operating procedure from the insurgents was to behead captives on camera.
