eddie...I heard on the news this morning an interview with the young lady soldier who is seen giving the thumbs up that she and others who did those crazy things to the prisoners thought it was funny looking and that is why they took pictures...likening it to a college hazing....Now in the absence of proof that Rumsfeld planned all those dumb things and signed them into orders for our military at large I think the overwhelming attention given these incidents smells of partisan politics to me. Many in congress we alerted to these abuses in January and February and yet no outrage was heard until the photos hit the news media and the internet...then the photo ops were flying....Such as Teddy Kennedy...saying the prisons were not shut down but under new management....purely partisan attack speech...

So we , then , have the beheading and no such outrage was heard. Condemnation for sure but a measured response only when directly asked.

Because of that lopsided and obviously partisan nature of the debate it is fair to ask where is the outrage for the acts of the Islamists? It smacks of opportunistic partisan politics at its worst.
