That is because we normally have standards in america. When an american is dragged through the streets by another american the outrage is just as high. When an uneducated savage does it during wartime in a warzone, it is not that shocking. And so when America allows torture and murders of its POW's there will be much outrage.
There should be, and is, "much outrage" at the evidence of prisoner treatment at that prison, by 30 or so members (but not for long) of our military.
There should be, and isn't, "much outrage" of the caulous and barbaric treatment of non-military citizens of the United States, and other crountries, by the same ilk that were receiving that barbaric treatment in the prison that we all have seen.
There is nothing acceptable in the photos that we have seen.
There is no excuse that can justify what was done.
The American people will accept nothing less than full justice for those that participated in these crimes.
The difference is that we are shocked and ashamed at what we have seen.
The other side revels at the sight of images of mutilation, murder and torture of our people.
The difference is that those actions are not acceptable to us, but welcomed by those that despise us.
On Rummy, he was doing what he was supposed to be doing, investigating the situation while protecting his boss, as would any SECDEF under any administration. The calls for resignation and impeachment are laughable in that they are transparently partisan. They do aid in showing the lawmakers that are more loyal to party than they are to country, and I sincerely hope that their constituents take note.
