		"Apologies Not Accepted" A great column by Amy White at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (yes, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch), May 20: .... Abu Ghraib muddied America's white hat here and abroad, but we have bigger problems. We have elected politicians who manufacture emotional hysteria over prisoner abuse to gain leverage in an election year. We have journalists and news organizations who believe that exploiting their country's failure in an Iraqi prison proves their intellectual integrity. It was only the screams of Nick Berg as he was being executed that put the abuse of prisoners in context and silenced the hoarse voices of the morally indignant. It's a war. Let's start acting like it. (Thanks, Christopher.) Lane Core Jr. CIW P — Thu. 05/27/04 04:41:00 PM Categorized as Political.
