I agree with the points you have made here Moria and I also believe that Seymour Hersh and Joe Darby should be considered heroes. I think both of these men chose to bring to light the inhuman ways that the American troops were treating citizens from other countries. U.S. soldiers in Vietnam killed innocent Vietnamese civilians while in Abu Ghraib, soldiers were found to be, "breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees; pouring cold water on naked detainees; beating detainees with a broom handle....". By Joe Darby giving the CD of pictures to military officials, displaying scenes of mistreated prisoners, he made the choice to turn his fellow men in because, "he felt very bad about it and thought it was wrong." I believe what the two men did was very honorable. To go against their own people and show the world the immoral acts that their very country was capable of doing took an abundance of courage and bravery. They knew they could possibly be disliked and even hated for "betraying" their own, but they felt like letting people who were doing wrong get away with their actions would have been even more of an injustice.
