How sad that the media has put our young men and women at risk by blowing out of proportion the magnitude of the abuse of prisoners in Iraqi prisons.
An isolated incident will be the cause of retaliation by people who know how to abuse and torture. There are people being held prisoner right now who are experiencing the retribution in direct response to all of the media hype that has occurred over those nasty pictures.
This is not reporting; it is sensationalism and the very worst politicking that the media has gotten so good at. Such outrage, over the same abuses our POWs are subject to, is disproportionate. Whose side are you on, CBS and company?
When will the media be grilled by Congress like Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and those military leaders were?
Media are equally to blame for all of this. Without their willing participation, this would have been dealt with in an appropriate manner that would have spared much agony for those being held captive currently and in the future. - Christina Pasterz, Glendale

Christina, may you be spared even one more day of such collosal ignorance - in whatever way that might come to be granted.
