"Outraged by the outrage"?!!
Sen. Inhofe with Oklahoma soldiers in Mosul, Iraq (courtesy muslim wakeup!)
"These prisoners,they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals." -- Oklahoma Senator James InhofeJackass of the month, hand down: James Inhofe, no doubt, who completely misses the big picture with his idiotic comments on the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. (USA Today)
The tragic story of Nick Berg would have probably generated far more sympathy for the US and their position in Iraq if it weren't for this scandal. (San Francisco Chronicle)
I love it: Faced with a scarcity of letters praising the president, a newspaper in a Republican-leaning district appealed for pro-Bush letters, then backed off the request Tuesday amid complaints of blatant politics. Full story (ABC 7 WJLA)
