During questioning of Maj. Gen. Taguba today, Senator James M. Inhofe of
Oklahoma, said "I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more
outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.....these prisoners,
they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents....many of them
have American blood on their hands. And here we're so concerned about the
treatment of those individuals....I am also outraged that we have so many
humanitarian do-gooders right now crawling all over these prisons, looking
for human rights violations while our troops, our heros, are fighting and
dying." Yes, indeed. American troops are fighting and dying. It's also
true that a Red Cross report released yesterday reports that up to 90
percent of Iraqi detainees were arrested "by mistake." How many of these
abused prisoners are guilty of nothing?
