I'm just asking because Ann Coulter said:
I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.
Rush Limbaugh said the abuse at Abu Gharib was "brilliant"
Maybe the people who executed this pulled off a brilliant maneuver. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got physically injured. But boy there was a lot of humiliation of people who are trying to kill us -- in ways they hold dear. Sounds pretty effective to me if you look at us in the right context.
Sean Hannity said:
"There was underwear on the head of one of them. We're not raping and killing anybody."
Ollie North said:
Alan, for 13 or 14 days now, all we have seen on the front pages of America's newspapers is a group of obviously twisted young people with leashes and weird sex acts, the kind of thing that you might find on any college campus nowadays, being perpetrated by people in uniform.
But wait! There's more....

Some Arab commentators are repeating the myth that the West has, once again, humiliated Muslims. If there has been humiliation, it isn't the fault of the West. It is Muslims' fault. They took trillions of dollars in oil money, and instead of building a culture dedicated to elevating their people, including women, they have squandered it on agendas and adventures that had the opposite result.

The "abuse" which took place at Abu Ghraib is almost two years old. Yet, it still persists in the headlines. George Galloway mentioned it yesterday in his testimony in front of the Senate. A reservist just got 6 months in prison for her role in the scandal. Will the story now go away
Bill O'Reilly said:
"Well, I think we all agree that that was blown out of proportion."
Michelle Malkin complained:
It's not just Newsweek...its the New York Times and CBS News and the overkill over abuses at Abu Ghraib prison. It's the Boston Globe publishing porn photos passed off by an anti-war city councilor as proof that American GIs were raping Iraqi women.
Of course, they weren't saying anything out of the ordinary. After all, Bush himself said many times:
"Iraq is free of rape rooms and torture chambers."
Rummy joined in:
There's still remnants of that regime that would like to take it back. ... They could torture people and have rape rooms, and the world would turn their head from that and let it happen. But they can't do that anymore.
And so did Condi:
There are no more rape rooms and torture chambers in Iraq.
But that was in the past. We shouldn't be talking about the past. We need to look ahead , right? So what are these folks saying now?
chirp.........
Gee, someone must have changed the script. When did we go from Hang 'em High to All Quiet on the Western Front?
