Gioco pericoloso. Il Washington Times si chiede che senso abbia a questo punto lo stillicidio di foto e di dettagli da Abu Ghraib.
The world already knows salient details of the prisoner humiliation and nudity, the causes of the abuse are under official investigation, and the courts-martial have begun. Yet, the caterwaul in the press against the American military and the war in Iraq continue. Sulla stessa linea il commento di Mort Kondracke. Both the media and Congress are obsessed with the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. It is awful, but both institutions are treating it as if it were the most important occurrence of the war. The decapitation of Nicholas Berg - which, it merits reminding, required several cuts of the knife to stop his screaming - was a front-page story for just one day. Only one newspaper that I know of, the Dallas Morning News, plus the Weekly Standard magazine, made the point that Berg's murder is "why we fight." By now, Abu Ghraib has been a lead story for weeks. Oggi è stato il WP a rilanciarla in grande stile. Queste foto invece non le vedremo mai (thanks to Instapundit). |
