I was struck by how shocked members of the Senate were upon viewing additional pictures of the undisciplined, unprincipled freaks masquerading as members of our military at Abu Ghraib prison.Of course there might be some who will think I wrongly chose Ms. Tammy Bruce as the Stupidest Human of the day™ for today, but I just calls 'em as I sees 'em. It is unbelievable to me that anyone would continue to intimate that nothin' that was not absolutely appallin' occurred at Abu Ghraib and that anyone in their right mind would attempt to characterize the perpetrators as "undisciplined, unprincipled freaks masquerading as members of our military" as if a bunch of impostors had created this whole scenario so as to throw bad light upon the US.
Now don’t get me wrong – I believe when it comes to Al-Qaida leadership and operatives, anything goes. I don’t care if you put women’s underwear on their heads, or frankly, even pull out a few fingernails of those responsible for mass murder, to unmask their continuing plans for the genocide of civilized peoples.It’s called “torture lite,” it works, and I’m all for whatever it takes to get information, and yes, to punish and annihilate terrorist leadership around the world.
That said – I consider the vast majority of what happened at Abu Ghraib to be hazing – nothing more, nothing less. For weeks, all of us have been shouted at by the liberal media about how awful the events were, how having a man stripped naked in front of a woman was “torture,” how making a prisoner wear women’s underwear was “horrific,” and the most recent “charge” of forcing men to wear maxi-pads.

I stand by my choice.
I wish to graciously thank Kathy Kinsley for the pointer.
