Too high a dudgeon
I'm with Josh on this: if releasing the abu Ghraib photos will put our troops in danger, then that seems further proof that torturing prisoners isn't a very effective tool. And I'm glad to hear that Sen. Huckleberry has at last admitted that we used methods adopted from the Spanish Inquisition.
But I think that calling David Ignatius "a monster" because he approves of the president's decision to withhold the photos on the advice of the military -- even if I think that advice is bullshit -- is taking the OUTRAGE a bit far.
I would, though, call Ignatius' "Sister Soulja" analogy pretty fucking stupid.
This has been another episode of This Day in American Torture Policy.
