It's not just the lack of uniform, it's the absence of any code of conduct. It's the preying our best instincts, mercy, justice, compassion and responsibility.

It's beheading frightened prisoners on camera.

It's blowing up new schools and power plants.

It's blowing yourself up when the soldier who would tend to your wounds approaches you out of mercy.

And it's about those spoiled spoiled cowards in this country who would think these things are our fault and not our enemy.

And our news... I despise them because this is what they think is news. Iraq: Pictures show Saddam Hussein in his underwear

AGreed...on all counts. The lack of uniform is relatively minor to me. If you have to fight, you fight as you are. The uniforms will catch up if and when they can. As I indicated, the major issue is how they fight, who they target and how...and what they are fighting for. All of which you also pointed out in your last.

One of the best quotes I saw this weekend came from wretchard at The Belmont Club:

"We live in a strange world where the Beslan story vanishes in weeks while Abu Ghraib lives on for years."

That story you linked is just more "Abu Ghraib".
