...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Bill Whittle's latest, Strength, was posted this weekend. i'm still working through it, but i loved this bit (from part 2):
Let me clarify this if I may. Senator Kennedy claims Abu Ghraib is simply Saddam Hussein’s torture chambers 'under new management – U.S. management.' Taking him at his word – a somewhat iffy proposition right out of the gate – he apparently cannot see the difference between the humiliation and bullying of enemy combatants, which is shameful, disgusting and reprehensible, and the gleeful, mocking murder, torture and gang rape of over 300,000 innocent men, women and children -- which is something worse. So Senator, here is a helpful analogy which you may find useful: The difference is about the same as pulling over and leaving a young female secretary on the curb in the rain, which is shameful, disgusting and reprehensible, vs. leaving her trapped in the car at the bottom of a river while you look at the bubbles and ponder the political repercussions.Which is something worse, Senator.
It's an admittedly petty observation to make based on Bill's consistently brilliant work, but if this was a saner, fairer world, Jack would've lived and Teddy would be fish food. There, I said it.
