ESPN had hired Hunter S. Thompson years before that and he wrote how the abuses at Abu Ghraib sickened him WORSE than the worst NAZI attrocities. That was 2004.

ESPN SCRUBS HUNTER S. THOMPSON BUSH BASH
Drudge Report ^ | 5/24/04 | Matt Drudge
In a column entitled, “Let’s Go to the Olympics,” Thompson went off on the Abu Ghraib prison picture scandal, exclaiming: “Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these [Abu Ghraib] photographs did.”
...The cleansed paragraph now reads:
“These horrifying digital snapshots of the American dream in action on foreign soil are worse than anything even I could have expected. I have been in this business a long time and I have seen many staggering things, but this one is over the line.
As with the original, Thompson still concludes with the thought: “Now I am really ashamed to carry an American passport.”

Never heard that quote, but it doesn't surprise me. Liberals have no idea how stupid they continually sound when they make statements like that to normal people.
Even the most pedestrian American has likely seen skeletal holocaust victims being thrown, wheel-barrowed, and bulldozed into mass graves.
And somehow, seeing a man with a hood on his head and dummy wires on his fingers, or prisoners doing a human pyramid is worse.
Yes. It illustrates the inanity of liberals.
