VD Hanson on Abu Ghraib

It takes Victor David "VD" Hanson four paragraphs of mild angst over the Abu Ghraib atrocities to segue into his apologia. The rationalizations for American torture of Iraqi prisoners are in five bulleted points. I'll sum them up so you don't have to read it.

• There's an investigation going on! Nothing's proven.
• Bush and Kimmitt are mad about it and boy, are those very few soldiers who did it in trouble.
• Worse things happened in history!
• The media is blowing this out of proportion, especially the Arab Press, those Osama-lovers!
• Those guys naked in human pyramids with bags on their heads were probably terrorists who deserved it!

Conclusion: People are just picking on America for this because they're mean hypocrites and don't understand America's moral superiority! Don't forget the rest of the world, especially Arabs, are much worse than us, so go nag on them.
