When we found out that soldiers in Iraq were mistreating prisoners we put them all on trial and gave the guy who said this wasn't right a medal. What the Burmese military does to maintain its sixty year old dictatorship is wanton murder of civilians.

We didn't "find out", some media and/or Wikileaks got evidence. And the consequences were not even close to harsh enough - each and every instance of war crimes should have led to a thorough cleanup and massive sentences for everyone involved, especially for everyone who tried to cover it up.
