It is utterly despicable that anyone is trying to score points off this regrettable lapse in discipline. But it is the type of action we've come to expect from the Left.

I'm listening to Hugh Hewitt and am amazed at how far out of line the comments of Levin and Kennedy have gotten.

I agree. What happened at Abu Ghraib is miniscule when compared to what happened to us on 9/11. It will not suffice for us to apologize to people who don't like us anyway. The best course of action is to show how determined we are by not falling for the guilt trips that the traitors are trying to lay on us.

The second-guessers had a field-day with Vietnam.

That cannot happen again---..."We were naïve in Viet Nam. We’re not any more."

If a few pervert soliders represent the USA, then the 911 hijackers represent all of Islam.

As long as we’re handing out shame, save the lion’s share for the gadflys who are willfully blind to the successes of this mission but who are focused to distraction on its rare failures.

Amen. Thanks IJ......to distraction, and maybe to the jeopardy of our troops.

I cannot agree that the words "abuse" and "scandal" belong in quotes. That was definitely abuse and this is definitely a scandal.

The nation's enemies have been handed a propaganda coup that they will milk for decades. There's no use denying it. Nor does it make sense to deny that those repulsive photos will be in the public domain and a part of American history forever, in a certain sense forever sullying the shining city on a hill.

Good stuff, IJ.

You managed to sift through all the fine points and cut straight to the real issue. The Abu Ghraib prison mess will be sorted out by the proper agencies. It's time to stop allowing the media, Democrats, and other countries to blur our focus on the task at hand. Fighting terrorism.
