In so far as the argument lies in context: in the attitude taken toward the Geneva Convention; in the direction given to interrogating prisoners in Afghanistan; in the lack of attention to complaints; in the focus on the public relations aspect of this rther than cleaning it up; in so far as it lies here, it's an open and shut case Let me recast this argument into different terms: in the attitude taken towards the US Government, including former membership in Communist cells, including current association with communist front groups, it is an open and shut case that X is a Communist. Whoops, all of sudden I think you can recognize the problem with guilt-by-association arguments once again. Arguing against documented MI policies is one thing. Decrying Abu Ghraib abuses is another. Implying against evidence that one equals the other, or proves the other, is a hatchet job. As for concern only for PR, it was an Army investigation that broke this open and stopped the abuses. Not reporters. Not NGOs. Army.
