Charen's usually more sensible than this. Chalk it up to cultural dissonance. The fact that it's females humiliating Arab males is indeed what has them screaming. They'd better get used to it if they want to join the civilized world.
Obligatory caveat: Of course I'm outraged at the lack of discipline that allowed perverted hijinks among a few of our prison guards in Iraq. It looks like a slave auction at a gay bathhouse, not the kind of image we want for our Army in any case. The solution is to keep the creeps out of the ranks, not to trash the 99.99% who are not creeps.

What sets conservatives apart from liberals is the ability of conservatives to admit when things need to be fixed. Liberals would rather drive the world into the ground instead of admitting fault and correcting the problem.
Question: Would this be acceptable behavior towards American prisoners?

oh no its all over we're doomed, doomed.
Jeezuz H. Keerist I am getting tired of this crap.
By the time the perps are court-martialed we'll be off on the next crisis du jour. Anyone even remember the Joe Wilson scandal?
BTW the law of unintended consequnces may have kicked in again, notice that all of the pictures feature US women humiliating Arab men. The Jihadist may not be in such a hurry to encounter the US military.

That's the best you can do, Wu?

I am proud of the foaming at the mouth conservative columnist Mona. I am not as foaming at the mouth, but I am a conservative, and I am also very upset at this picture. Only heartless godless idiots would think of defending such action or even reduce its severity. I have been screaming about the barbaric Moslems and their uncivilized behaviors, and now I am stunt.

Mona's comments are right on the money. I don't give a crap, personally, if some Iraqi bad guy was humiliated. Indeed, when I ponder the fact that these people were in military detention (as opposed to some random Iraqi off the street), I can only assume that the "victims" had done their share of evil in this world.
The problem is exactly as Mona states it: in a war for hearts and minds, it does us no good to appear just as bad as any alternative. I say whoever took the pictures is guilty of a greater crime than the chick holding the leash.

Truth hurts, doesn't it.
This is a total and complete disaster.
