Abu Ghraib revisited

It seems that things I was talking about seem very up to date...

Can you believe this comment from Rumsfeld:

He lamented that vast media attention about U.S. abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq outweighed that given to the discovery of "Saddam Hussein's mass graves."

Of course Saddam Hussein's Mass graves are very serious, and definitely should not exist, but everybody already knows or suspects things like that happened there, or for that matter in any other dictatorial regime. But nobody expects a nation like the U.S. to responsible for the abuses its military comitted in Abu Ghraib. Thus, it deserves the vast media attention it's getting.

"Do what I say but don't do what I do". Is that the message they want to pass on to the world?
