I (the GP) actually agree with you. The point in making my distinction wasn't that I think one is criminal and one is not. I think they're both criminal, however there's clearly a political angle being played in both.
It's very possible that it was completely legal under the international rules of war (Geneva Conventions, etc), whether or not you or I like what happened.
And I'm well aware that many other unfortunate and illegal things happened during the Iraq War. I referenced Abu Grahib. But the topic here was scoped to U.S. gov crimes exposed by Assange.
Edit: I did actually write "questionable incident" and that's what I meant there, my mistake.
