#1 And still no numbers on how many prisoners have been held. Without the scale, the number of "37" is meaningless, simply a piece of propaganda intended to make us more angry at our troops than at our enemy.

Mike seems to be buying into it.

#2 Hmmm - 12 more. I am uninterested in numbers of dead retrobates in Abu Gharib. I want to know what the added 12 did to end up there. Insurgents who fire on our guys are worth much more dead. At least mulch helps flowers bloom better. Otherwise its just another mouth to feed, and I hope it's fed pork. But even that costs taxpayer dollars.

#3 I'd JDAM-retrofit their dead mook bodies and return them via F-18's. Wouldn't that put a twist in the Mahdi Army's morale?

#4 Lt. Col. Billy Buckner,

That name brings up some serious pain here in the heart of Red Sox Nation...

#5 An Army summary of deaths and mistreatment involving prisoners in American custody in Iraq..

Yawn. Can you say, "beating a dead horse"?

#6 The media thought the abuse scandal was the ticket to discredit the war/beat bush once the photos came out. But, predictably, they couldn't help themselves and overplayed their hand. Middle America has concluded that some juvenile retards at Abu Ghraib went to far, are being punished, and Bush has done the right thing with a bad situation. The more the press pounds the prison abuse drum, the less effect it has at this point.
