I'm Sure We're Not the Good Guys Anymore

From the BBC:

"An Australian TV channel has broadcast previously unpublished images showing apparent US abuse of prisoners in Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail in 2003."

"US defence department spokesman Bryan Whitman said the images 'could only further inflame and possibly incite unnecessary violence in the world'."

"He said: '[The images] would endanger our military men and women.'"

Starting this whole business, engendering a culture in which this sort of thing is possible, and actually doing it is the source of the danger.

It's not the images themselves, no matter how often you say it, that gets us in trouble. It's the dark forces at the top, and everything that emanates from that evil that makes this possible.
