Colin, Where's the Outrage?

Secretary of State Colin Powell joined many other GOP voices today saying "enough is enough" with regard to showing Iraqi prison abuse photos. This, the same man who went on every TV news program last Sunday asking, "Where's the outrage?" from the Arab world concerning Nick Berg.

Of course, the two situations are not completely compatible. But lots of prisoners have died and many of them seem to have died from abuse (and we're not even mentioning all those who were captured and killed under US watch in Afghanistan without any real determination if they were really Taliban, fighters, or what).

Come on, Colin. Where's your outrage? When you were head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when you were a soldier, would you have wanted your soldiers treated that way? I certainly wouldn't want any of our fighters treated similarly.

What of the picture today depicting a US translator raping a young boy? Is that something you wanted for Michael when he was younger?

Hint: worry less about King George and worry more about a) the men and women and children involved in all of this, on all sides and b) the future of this country.
