One more, from the comments

In the comments to a post about the torture of Iraqi prisoners:

I wonder if cbs really understands the perdicament they have caused for the united states. The country they call home of the free and the brave.

How can you say the CBS caused the problem?

These people WILL get home and WILL discuss their treatment…treatment that actually happened. We have photographic evidence. Now, if this hadn't come out, the USofA would be denying it ever happened. YOU would be denying it ever happened, just more propaganda from the other side. What kind of problems do you think THAT would cause the USofA?

CBS didn't cause a problem, they've provided an opportunity. The USofA can now show there are some things it simply won't defend or deny, some things that are beyond the pale, that it has at least a modicum of what others might call honor.

From CNN: President Bush Friday expressed disgust at the images, saying the apparent mistreatment of the Iraqi prisoners "does not reflect the nature of the American people. That's not the way we do things in America."

Apparently the former Texas governor is not aware of a company called Wackenhut. They've been abusing prisoners in Texas for years.

It's as American as apple pie.

It's happened in Brooklyn too. Almost the same behavior as happened in Iraq.
