When I see video of his torturings, I certainly don't see his victim's nationality, skin color, etc. I see a man or woman more similar to me than different, one who feels and loves and wants to live and I want justice for them and for those who loved them - a justice that they set and that they feel appropriate and right.
I agree that the Iraqis should have justice. I disagree about what is considered justice, however.
Also, if a torturer is responsible for his terrible crimes (and I certainly believe he or she is), then what do we do about Guantanamo Bay? Or Abu Ghraib? We have blood on our hands, too.
