The Abu Ghraib Files
Salon’s got 279 photos and 19 videos from Rummy’s favorite little pet project in Iraq.
If you weren’t disgusted enough, some choice quotes from the nutosphere:
[The US] “does not permit, tolerate, or condone torture under any circumstances”
– Condi Rice
“brilliant!”
– Rush Limbaugh
“more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.”
– Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK)
“There was underwear on the head of one of them. We’re not raping and killing anybody.”
– Sean Hannity
“hazing”
“fraternity prank”
– Rush Limbaugh
“Clearly, more pictures of Abu Ghraib help the terrorists, as do Geneva Convention protections and civilian lawyers. So theres no question the ACLU and the judges who side with them are terror allies.”
– Bill O’Reilly
UPDATE 8:02pm: How could I forget the biggest fans?
“We do not torture”
– George W. Bush
“this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva’s strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions.”
– Alberto “Abu” Gonzales
