"Get a Grip"

That's the comment from Neocon ne'er-do-well Frank Gaffney to the country (via Deborah Norville's MSNBC show) re: the Iraqi abuse scandal. He said it would have been worse if we'd actually seen any evidence of torture in these photographs or word of miserable death. The current pictures, he insists, really aren't that bad. Arabs go through this sort of thing every day, he adds.

But we do see torture and we're told from reports of some of the GIs involved that there were deaths. To this, I'd suggest Mr. Gaffney get a grip, and on more than his limp putter. Ahem.
