There have been atrocities and torture in every war in history, on both sides. But presidents aren't blamed for it, because that is the nature of war.

But Abu Ghraib isn't even an atrocity or torture.

It is a bunch of Arabs claiming, "Mommy, mommy, they're being mean to me!" like 8 year old school kids -- knowing that Mommy will take America to task.

As far as I'm concerned, any person who considers Abu Ghraib to have been "misbehavior" on the part of the Military leadership is simply America-bashing. Certainly, there were lower level employees involved, but the leadership took the matter seriously and acted on it with a proper investigation.
