Another Take on Abu Ghraib

Kevin Robertson of the Fixing A Hole blog posted this take on the Iraqi prison scandal.

I am not condoning what happened to the Iraqi prisoners...however, I
think it is vitally important that in my head I have these matters in proper
perspective...

* Saddam had Iraqi men, women and children put to death in human meat
grinders on a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB
COMMUNITY

*Saddam had people thrown off of 3 - 4 story buildings, while their
relatives were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB
COMMUNITY...

* Saddam had people's tongues cut out, limbs chopped of, and even
beheaded, while their families were forced to watch...NO OUTCRY FROM THE
IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

* Saddam's sons, as well as other Administrators and military
personnel raped and sodomized Iraqi girls, some as young as 8 years old, on
a daily basis...NO OUTCRY FROM THE IRAQI PEOPLE OR THE ARAB COMMUNITY...

AND NOW, A FEW IRAQI PRISONERS HAVE BEEN HUMILIATED (poor babies)...A PAIR
OF WOMENS UNDERWEAR PUT ON THE PRISONERS' HEADS, A FEW NAKED
PHOTOGRAPHS...AND THE IRAQI PEOPLE AND THE ENTIRE ARAB COMMUNITY GO
BALLISTIC...GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

As I said, I don't condone what happened to the prisoners...I wish the
American news elite would stop being part of the problem and stop using this
story to the benefit of the Arab community.

Rock on, Kevin!
