Assuming what he said is true, I agree, he should be canned (or caned, for that matter). I guess my concern is over the fact that the internet has proven to be a forum for individuals to exaggerate/lie about their "real life" escapades. If this turns out to be such a case, then I can see the free speech issue coming up.

Of course, he shouldn't have been using a computer at work for such purposes in the first place, so I guess he should be fired for being a dumbfuck, regardless of his stance on prisoner abuse.
