All Abu Ghraib all the time

This article sums the Abu Ghraib situation for me. Those who did it will be punished so the press needs to move on and focus on the big picture.

Taranto cites the Abu Ghraib abuses being raised in anniversary stories about the Nuremberg trials, even in stories about sagging consumer trust in U.S. brand names like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Disney and Nike in a study "conducted before the news of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal broke."


Public seems indifferent

What has Abu Ghraib got to do with Coca-Cola? Non sequitur stuff.

I suspect the media is more outraged at Abu Ghraib than the American public. The "ordinary" Americans most upset at the goings-on are, I also suspect, soldiers.



Is it sympathy for the devil?
