It's the pure visceral frustration that we couldn't get our hands on the people who flew the planes into the WTC and Pentagon, and we can't get our hands on their leaders tucked away in the Pakistani tribal homelands, so beating the crap out of alleged proxies had to suffice. Bad idea all the way around.

Knowing you, I'm assuming there's an ironic <g> understood there... But yes, that might have made it understandable, and for me at least maybe even excusable. Of course, there's the logic gap that anyone dying in Abu Ghraib (or anywhere else where we have the body) most assuredly wasn't on any plane flown into the WTC... but I think logic has played small role in the rest of our Iraq misadventure, so why start now. Thanks and thanks again for catching my sorry attempts at irony. Of course one of the WTC 19 wouldn't be around now, but that seems to have made little difference in the way we've approached our revenge/retribution/shock&awe/whatever.
