This is why we should all fear "patriotism." See how this has worked out? The actual abuse, torture and murder were just "hijinks" and "pranks" (Rush), or really only a problem because of digital cameras (Rummy). And now we blame, not those who created the environment for this kind of abuse, but those who comment on it. The media is to blame. And artists who might be disgusted by it are unamerican. Not the people who did it, mind you, but those who are disgusted by it. (Inhofe).
