It's All About Cindy--What About Lynndie?
You know, for all the press the Abu Ghraib photos received, why isn't anyone interested in the outcome of Lynndie England's trial?
England was sentenced to three years in prison for her involvement, as well as a dishonorable discharge. Where's the excitement about this example of the American military doing the right thing? Ah, gotcha--we only talk about the military when it goofs, not when it makes things right. George W. Bush can commiserate, I'm sure.
Lynndie England may be one of the only people I can think of who is thrilled that Cindy Sheehan's popularity with the press has seen a resurgence, as it's taking much of the heat off of her.
While I think it's right that those who participated in that distasteful photo shoot be punished, I find it amusing that the incident at Abu Ghraib, which dominated the headlines for weeks on end, has had its conclusion shunted aside for the "fresher" spectacle of Cindy Sheehan and her followers being arrested in front of the White House.
The MSM should adopt a new slogan: all the news that's fit to occupy the attention span of a gnat. And you wondered what that annoying buzzing sound was!

Well said, or as the Anchoress put it, The condition is this: In order to be offended by images of torture, the torturers have to be U.S. Troops, serving under a CIC who has an R after his name.

Remember how this was supposedly only the tip of the iceberg, that there were murders and rapes of young boys still to be revealed?

Exactly.
It's all about hysterics with the left; they never want to wait for the facts...unless you're the Clinton's...then it needs to be proven in a court of law to be true.

Aaron,
Come. On. You must know that hysterics are the proprietary domain of no specific political party.
Please, demonstrate some semblance of reasonable thought and acknowledge that statement to be true.
You damage your coherent moments with these ridiculous, obviously one-sided (and therefore untrue) statements.
