All five are accused of verbal abuse of detainees, denying them food and water, and forcing them to kneel in discomfort during interrogation.
Don't get me wrong, that's bad. But that's nothing compared to what the US and UK "bad apples" have pulled off.

Correspondents say the scandal shocked many in Denmark, where most people support their government's backing of the US-led coalition in Iraq.
I have read elsewhere that this is based on a statistic from October 2003 which said 57% people supported the invasion and 41% said the war was unjustified. Not too great a majority and it'd be interesting to know what the danes think now.

You are, of course, absolutely right.
I just thought it was interesting that yet another coalition member was accused of abuse.

And there is zero evidence of systemic abuse by the Danish.
