Nick Schulz on Abu Ghraib

Absolutely shocked. This graphic description is almost too much to bear... I don't think I could manage the video. And mind you... this isn't about American abuses... our abuses are inexcusible but nothing compared to the horror that Saddam inflicted.

Nick Schulz on Abu Ghraib on National Review Online: "Earlier this month, National Review Online obtained a four-minute video of Saddam-era torture at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Many of us here who discussed the matter are ourselves unable to watch the whole video. Some could not get beyond the furious, ecstatic chanting of torturers as they raised swords, celebrating their own dementia in the depths of a man-made hell. What to do with the video was a matter of debate here"
