"Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one."

Does the end justify the means? In this case no. Two years ago, word got out that military soldiers and government officials were torturing captured insurgents. In my opinion, two wrongs do not make a right. Just because someone did something inhumane to others doesn't give us the right to do the same. If we start doing the same things to these people that hurt us, how does that make us any different than them? We become everything that we hate. It has been proven that there are other ways to get information. We can use a friendlier form of interrogation that doesn't hurt anyone else. The world is full of so much violence and hatred, is there really a need to add to that? In my opinion no matter what any one does, they don't deserve it back. Yes, it makes them a bad person, but do you also want to be a bad person that gives it right back to them? I think the American G.I's should be help completely responsible for what they did. And 10 years is nothing for prison time. If we caught someone doing this to citizens from the U.S we would go postal and sentence them with death or throw them in jail for life to be tortured for information and so on. Why is this man that did this same exact thing only being given 10 years? Are his actions justified because he's in the military? Doing something right in your life does not justify the wrongs you have done. "Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one."
