The terrorists have the momentum of the American media behind them, and they know that every atrocity, whether committed by American soldiers or Al Qaida, will be defelected toward George Bush by the American press. It's a win/win for terrorists.

I beg to differ. They just highlight the difference between an indignity, that we are trying to correct and the fundamental inhumanity and barbarity of our enemy.

The left already has a built in excuse in that they will claim they had already said the abuse was going to cause American deaths, regardless of the photos being published.
No matter what, this will be blamed, by the media, on our decision to go to war with Iraq, and it will not be the fault of the media. The media will claim they were only "reporting" and they will never admit their biased reports gave "aid and comfort to the enemy" which encouraged this type of outrage.
Yes, this war is much like Vietnam, not from a war perspective, but definitely from a reporting standpoint. The media will not be satisfied until American deaths reach a point that we withdraw and give up. The media is working hard to make this another Vietnam.
