You, or someone else, posted earlier that Taguba's career is over because he was too honest.

Ninety percent of the conservatives - not you - on SI and Free Republic are angry at Taguba and the whistleblowers and defensive of the abusers because -

- the abusers must have been provoked;
- the victims are lucky to be alive rather than killed in battle;
- the victims and the rest of the Iraqi people are lucky Iraq hasn't been turned into a sheet of glass;
- what happened to the victims is payback for Fallujah;
- what happened to the victims is payback for 9/11;
- what happened to the victims is nothing more serious than a frat prank, and the photos are similar to Mapplethorpe so we should let the NEA display them.

I confess myself to be quite surprised and taken aback. If the world hasn't gone mad, it's been mad and I just really never noticed how mad before.
