Funny how they never seem this outraged at abuse in American prisons, by prisoners on prisoners, for example.

I've made this point myself to no answer. If military police abusing prisoners under their control is national news, why isn't every case of police officers/prison guards abusing prisoners under their control national news?

Hell, I remember when the AG of CA was cracking jokes about how he hoped the head of Enron would be repeatedly raped in prison after being convicted...

The mindset of many journalists is liberal, natch, but it's also blatantly hyupocritical (which is why they LOVE calling others on "hypocrisy"--it's called transference). So while they think most criminals don't deserve to be in prison, they don't want the scum clogging up THEIR neighborhoods, so for the most part they report on statistics in US prisons, as opposed to individual cases.

With the terrorists, they have their perfect victims--they foreigners, so if they get them freed, they won't be coming around to THEIR neighborhoods. (Like most liberals they seem to be deluded that when the attacks come the terrorists will somehow exempt them, apparently forgetting 9-11 happened in Liberalville Northeast and Liberalville East.)
