Abu Ghraib II?

Where's the outcry?

About one week ago, American forces transferred to the Iraqis control of the Iraqi prison made famous for the degrading and humiliating treatment by a number of American servicemen and women. And what is the result?

  • Allegations of routine torture: "...Screams were coming from the cell blocks housing the terrorist suspects."
  • Mass executions: "on Wednesday [9/6/06], 27 prisoners were hanged."
  • Prisoners left behind suspected as much: "They had pleaded to go with their departing captors, rather than be left in the hands of Iraqi guards."
In the words of one suspected terrorist: "The Americans were better than the Iraqis. They treated us better."

Seems even America's terrorist enemies know that we will treat them better than their fellow countrymen will. So why is the American media machine so clueless? Where's the public outcry?
