"I can understand 'softening them up' for interrogation, but making these prisoners strip and then stacking them up, with these military personnel posing like idiots is way, way, way, over the line. These are the type of statements that Rush has been able to avoid making over his years, because they do damage to his credibility at being simply an administration shill, instead of a conservative commentator."

I for one am amazed this story has the legs it does -- it IS a freakin' war afterall with over 200,000 American troops working 24/7 for over a year. Were there going to be a few unpleasant anomalies? Yeah. Am I upset a few murderous Iraqi prisoners were "abused"? Not really...

As to Rush, he's been running on 12 cylinders and dissecting, disseminating and analyzing world and national ussues from soup-to-nuts, and yet you demand a Grand Slam at every single at bat? Gimme a break.

The guy's a conservative warrior -- plain and simple.

Without Limbaugh, the GOP folds like a cheap camera, and with it -- conservatism.

Exactly right! 100% agreed on every word. One gets the feeling that were this *1944* instead of *2004*, this would not be anymore than a one day story on page A-23, below the fold. But that was back when this country didn't flinch at every P.C. melodrama that came down the pike in the middle of a full-fledged war. Sad to see even some conservatives here are buying into the liberal elites & media's P.C. gambits.

I agree with you that it is outrageous that this story has any legs whatsoever - clearly an attempt to hurt Bush in November and promote the Hate America First crowd's agenda. And I also agree with your comments about Rush; that's why I've been listening to him as long as I have. But guess what? Rush makes mistakes, and I think that to compare what happened to a Yale frat stunt, or blowing off steam was wrong of him to do. Right next to his announcement that Vince Foster's body was in an apartment owned by Hillary (or something like that).

God bless Rush, but he's erred here.
