So according to Phillip Kennicott all of us are personally responsible for Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse committed by US MPs and contractors. While I believe those indicated in the rather thorough and scathing internal report released by The Army need to improve their PT scores by breaking lots of rocks at Ft. Leavanworth, I find Mr. Kennicott's conclusions philosophically flawed and personally obnoxious.

If we're all responsible for these atrocities, how can he live with himslef for not leaving the US immediately? I'd love to limo his sorry a-- over to Dulles and fork over for his one-way ticket.

Kennicott reminds me of another American who played the deeply saddened by America at war routine. Played it into a political career, a Senate seat and eventually a Presidential nomination.

This article is a profound disgrace. Nearly as much of a disgrace against our country as the tortures that took place at Abu Ghraib Prison.

For libs, a few naked Iraqi prisoners in a human pyramid is a "crime, atrocity and confusing and indigestible to the national conscience."

However, millions of aborted babies don't even merit a yawn or a debate.

Noble goals flow naturally from a noble people; the occasional act of barbarity is always the work of individuals, unaccountable, confusing and indigestible to the national conscience.

Which sounds a lot like: "Socialism is the best politicial system. It is perfect. It has noble goals. The fact that it has not been properly implemented so far, is not a reflection of any failing within the ideology itself. It is merely a reflection that the implementers made mistakes. Now, the current Political Vanguard, pledges to do it right ..."

Only the Left really thinks like this. The Christian West has always been willing to accept the imperfect nature of humans. We tend to take responsibility for our errors. The Left never does.

This writer is delusional. The FACT that bad things sometimes happen in war is stated and restated by Americans, and yes, these are aberrations.

What a self-loathing twit.

Fight Back - Get This Out!

A WND investigation has revealed that most of the photos are taken from the American pornographic website "Iraq Babes," and the Hungarian site, "Sex in War,"

Later in the day they "investigated" hotnudecelebs.com and the validity of the Paris Hilton video.

Bogus GI rape photos used as Arab propaganda Pictures purporting to be U.S. troops actually taken from porn sites

You wouldn't have to pay for his flight out of here all by yourself, I'd gladly pitch in.

Not many things boggle my mind anymore, especially in the WP or NYT. But this one had me speechless. No attack on this administration and the war effort is too ludicrous for these rags.

Kennicott's conclusions are based on the Communist belief in "collective guilt". This is what helps make the slaughter of millions not only possible, but inevitable.
