This makes no sense to me....
Perhaps I'm just too dimwitted to understand the reasoning for people to think that the Abu Graib prison torture of Iraqis is a college fraternity/skull and bones prank (Limbaugh) or that somehow it's okay because this is the kind of thing that goes on at college campuses (Oliver North) or that instead of putting "joysticks" into the orafices of Iraqi prisons we put dynamite instead (Michael Savage).
What's going on with this? What happened to America being the good guys? When did our standard for behavior become criminal activity that might take place on college campuses?
Al Qaida and Zarqawi are infinitely worse than we are as they demonstrated this week with the wretched criminal act against Mr. Berg. John Stewart said in his monologue on the Daily Show last night that just when we thought we were bad..Al Qaida shows us up again.
That said I can't fathom why these rightwing radio show hosts are beating this mantra. It diminishes our country even more than the prison abuses, in my opinion.
