Americans are so socially naive it is known as a national trait around the world. And how fucking tainted and emotionally lie-mongering are all those congresspersons claiming to be shocked. Total flim-flam. No one gets to be a congressperson without having experienced massive forms of human denigration, simply through atrocious business and political practices. Like they don't remember all the congresspeople of the recent past writing memoirs and exposes about fornicating with administrative aids on the Capitol steps, etc. I agree with Troy -so much media puppetry. And whatsay?! -like there was ever any war that was pristine, ideally administered, - you don't kill or imprison a person humanely.
Wake up.
I like all of S'tan's points about the hard up chick luxuriating in a sexual free-for-all, the military unit loyalty. Any congressperson mouthing indignation and shock simply deserves it, and I don't really belive their protestations at all, which is what I think Troy is getting at.
This is all about getting caught. And it is another sub-category of stupidity about this particular war, so much less necessary than most other recent national misadventures. Ahbu Gharaib IS the Little Bush World, naked, open for everyone. "How did such people get in to the military?" How pathetic. Someone needs some acting lessons. A congressperson saying that is incomparably more
