I do perceive that I am more offended by the events in Abu Ghraib than many whose politics I am otherwise more or less compatible with. On the other hand, as I posted at the time, everybody who was active duty military and everybody in the Bush administration reacted pretty much as I did -- it was a black eye for the country and the military, and would give our enemies much rhetorical ammunition against us, and would be a boost to recruitment of terrorists, causing grave risk of harm to our brave, honorable men and women serving without stooping to such repulsive behavior. I still believe it is a fundamental violation of human rights to knock down people's houses simply because they are related to terrorists or suicide bombers. I recognize that many who call themselves conservatives only give lip service to human rights, and only for those who closely resemble themselves. As do many who call themselves liberals.
