Completely different scale, they are a government perpetrating genocide on their own citizens, could go on and on how they aren't the same.

But the top photo of prisoner with hood and handcuffs and brutish looking military/security look very similar to some of the gross photos we saw of abuse at gitmo.

Might be me putting too much emotion onto it but the guard with the bat looks like a smirk, like how the criminals at gitmo enjoyed abusing and taking those photos.

I think you're confusing Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. It's the latter where sadistic guards took photos.

Ugh. The pictures in that article are horrendous. The "patriots" will say (and in fact do say -- see the linked article about Lyndie England) that the real crime is not the acts committed but making them public. The same is true of course in China with Tiananmen Square or in Russia with the current military operation.

It's funny how self-declared patriots seem to specialize in making the rest of the world hate and revile their country.

I am you're right ;( Sad that you can confuse those.

the photos from gitmo aren't nearly as bad, probably because there aren't many. Most I've seen are just those through the fence photos, again looks too similar to China's concentration camps.

Also I think there are a lot more eyes on Gitmo. At Abu Ghraib a lot was entrusted to people with little vetting.
