“Herewith a synopsis of the Rumsfeldian spin on the Abu Ghraib prison activities, and the real meaning of it… Put it all together — feigned outrage only after the story is public; the assurance that the matter will now be handled appropriately which means it was therefore bungled up until this point; the insistence that nothing improper or ‘unsystemic’ has occurred — and you get a nice capsule of how the Bush Administration manages so much of its policy.” — Tom Schaller, Daily Kos

Schaller adds,

“(M)ay I suggest yet again that if you are feeling especially animated by the Abu Ghraib situation, that you take 15 minutes off-line (or if web submissions are possible, stay online — even better!) to compose a thoughtful letter to the editor of the newspapers closest to you. We have to keep talking to others beyond our own communities, virtual or physical.”
