I feel the same outrage you do.

G&S's Mikado sang a patter song which included the phrase "...let the punishment fit the crime". It doesn't remotely in this case.

I mean, what the heck, hang a pair of panties on his head for a week, make him watch porno, whatever. But that's about all this "crime" deserves.

Face it: this was intended to be the scandal that deposed Dubya. The NYT carried about 48 straight days of Abu Ghraib on its front page. Object: to get Dubya.

I hate it that this Staff Sgt. Reservist is the one on whom the fallout fell.

Bad cess to the NYT and other liberal papers and media for their excess of "indignation" over this incident.

What do we usually do to US civilian prison guards who abuse their prisoners here? The punishment should be comparable.
