Torture Apologists All Right With The Right
"I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment [of Iraqi POWs]," spat Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, a card-holding member of the Party of Lincoln, to fellow members of the Armed Services Committee. "You know, they're not there for traffic violations. They're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents." Actually, according to the Red Cross report on Abu Ghraib, 90 percent of the detainees had been "arrested by mistake." Inhofe's rant continued: "I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons." Yup, that's no doubt the expression on their faces: gratitude. "Some people are overreacting," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay after viewing photos and tapes of bloodied prisoners forced to sodomize themselves and one another.

Um, it might not be considered fair use to post entire editorials in a post here. It's generally considered more acceptable to post a link and one salient quotation from it.

Ben, they aren't trying to curb your speech as much as limit the Cards' liability. There is no shame editting your post to include a telling paragraph and a link.
