I came across a thought provoking article today by Christopher HItchens that relates to our recent discussion on "what's going better in Iraq for the Iraqis."
Excerpt: Ian McEwan observed recently that there were, in effect, two kinds of people: those who could have used or recognized the words "Abu Ghraib" a few years ago, and those to whom it became a new term only last year.
Whole article: http://www.slate.com/id/2118306/
If the Abu Ghraib incidents were an isolated incident he might have a point, but as the Bush administration has demonstrated disdain for the Geneva Convention and a willingness to condone torture in many other instances, his diatribe falls flat.
