Abu Ghraib? No big deal
John Hinderaker of Power Line:
A prisoner at Abu Ghraib was tortured to death at the hands of Americans. What in the world could be worse than that? The apologists are truly delusional.
From everything we know so far, Haditha is shaping up as a very bad news story. "Worse than Abu Ghraib" is a description we're often hearing, but that comparison mostly points up how relatively trivial Abu Ghraib--the most over-blown news story of modern times--was. If the allegations of multiplr (sic) murders at Haditha are true, they are of course infinitely worse than Abu Ghraib.
