Sen. Edward Kennedys Abu Ghraib Meltdown By E.F. Winslow 4-27-2005
Yesterday, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D) released a statement commemorating the first anniversary of the revelations of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Never missing an opportunity for a partisan attack, he described the now infamous images of Charles Graner and Lynndie England with their prisoners had now been seared into our collective memory and laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Republican administration. The Administration Kennedy says, left our soldiers, case officers, and intelligence agents in a fog of ambiguity. They were told to 'take the gloves off' without knowing what the limits were. Despite the fact that nine comprehensive investigations have been carried out by the Pentagon, Kennedy apparently wont be happy until he has the heads of some high level officials in a basket. We know about the actions that have been taken against Charles Graner and Lynndie England. But what about William Haynes, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, David Addington, Douglas Feith? Kennedy goes so far as to misrepresent the situation to attempt to paint the worst possible picture of the U.S. military.

It was July 20, and they arrived back on earth on the 24th.
Funny, the pictures of Abu Graibe are not seared into my memory. I forget them 30 seconds after seeing them. I only remember them when the MSM shows them again on anniversaries.
Is Abu Graibe going to be the Boomer/X Gen "Hiroshima"? You know, every August a bunch of hippies toddle out of their basements to say how evil America is?
I have heard that Ted Kennedy has a portait of himself, that over the years has remained as young, slim, and handsome as the day it was painted.
