"Therefore, the catcalls from Congress and the media have the ring of opportunism..."

That's exactly what it is. The actions were bad enough, the pictures were worse. The fact that the events in Abu Graib took place last fall, an investigation began a day later, and CBS got it's info from the military report on the investigation & punishment proves it. The media barely gave it any coverage when it first came out. NOW, they've got pictures. The hyped "outrage" is all the more disgusting because they're trying to score political points from human humiliation. Then again, what else can we expect from a bunch of people still trying to score political points from the murders of 3,128 people.

as for the timing ... well, we are between the hype on Richard Clarke's book and the hype on the bill clinton book.

media needs a bush scandal filler.

and they cant talk about kerry, they start doing that and his numbers fall.

btw, dollars to donuts clinton throws in some fables about how hard he went after bin laden.
