Maybe I am just jaded but I really don't care. The only thing that really bothers me about this whole thing is how the Left and the Arab world are using these pictures to further their anti-US agenda.
Maybe I should care, but I don't. So they put a leash on a naked guy. Big whoop. Pretty tame when put against the tapestry of the last 5000 years of warfare and brutality that make up human history. The fact that there is more outrage (even in the US it seems) over these pictures than over the smoldering contractors hanging from a bridge tells me that the outrage is manufactured.
The one exception I will make to that statement is the outrage shown by our military people. They feeled betrayed by the idiots in these pictures. I think that outrage is justified.

There is clearly a lack of proportionality here

I care about it because this incident will probably prompt a few salamikaze fence-sitters to try their hand at killing Americans. All it takes is a few stupid f*cks to make a real mess. Sounds like we've discovered a few stupid f*cks in the MPs.
