Andrew Sullivan mentions "Abu Ghraib" as a terrible blow to the US credibility. It was bad, but no worse than a lot of the fraternity hazings that take place on college campuses during "hell week". What is worse, the treatment of prisoners (who were formerly trying to kill our troops) or guys like Al Zarqawi, who seems to take great delight in sawing off the heads of his hostages? Were is the outrage??
I don't think the prison scandal is that bad and IMHO, I don't Arabs think its that bad. Nothing like what their prisons are like.
