Representative Hunter doesn't quite "get it," does he?

I think the Senate Armed Services Committee is now in too-deep to try to bury the story, but the wingnuts in the House will stoop at nothing.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee harshly criticized his Senate counterparts Tuesday, accusing them of "basically driving the story" of the Iraq prison abuse and pulling officials out of Iraq to testify.

"I think they have given now probably more publicity to what six people did in the Abu Ghraib prison at 2:30 in the morning than the invasion of Normandy," Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said on C-SPAN.

While other Republicans have also raised concerns that the prison abuse controversy is diverting attention from the war, the criticism by a House chairman was unusual.

It's curious how Rep. Hunter has chosen to spend his time on some of the weightier issues of our times.
