Finally, proof I'm not the only one who is more outraged by the hysteria surrounding the Abu Ghraib incidents than the incidents themselves. According to Reuters (via Drudge Report):
"As others condemned the reported abuse of Iraqi prisoners, U.S. Sen. James Inhofe expressed outrage at the outcry over the scandal and took aim at "humanitarian do-gooders" investigating American troops."
"I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment," Sen. Inhofe announced at U.S. Senate hearing probing the case.
"I am also outraged that we have so many humanitarian do-gooders right now crawling all over these prisons looking for human rights violations, while our troops, our heroes are fighting and dying," he said.
"These prisoners, you know they're not there for traffic violations," said Inhofe, whose senatorial Web site describes him as an advocate of "Oklahoma values."
Three cheers for "Oklahoma values"! I wouldn't be surprised if most Americans outside of Washington share his sentiments.
But this is Reuters reporting, and Sen. John McCain appears as the hero of the day, stating future U.S. prisoners of war could face "very serious consequences" if U.S. forces "somehow convey the impression that we've got to do whatever is necessary and humanitarian do-gooders have no place in this arena."
Mr. McCain, there won't be any future U.S. prisoners of war if we can get over these events and get back to the war in Iraq. The longer we persist in hand-wringing and self-criticism, the stronger our enemies grow. Stop letting fear of their opinion destroy America!
