More Perspective

While we're reflecting on bold contrarian perspectives on the Iraqi prison abuse, we might as well check in with the Conservative Observer:

Is no one in all this bruhaha making distinctions? As , for instance, among torture and humiliation for sadistic amusement, the same for control, the same for interrogation, and the same for punishment? We should. Not only because these different phenomena have different moral statuses, but also because, while some are apt to reflect only the spontaneous brutality of individuals and small groups - especially lesbians with a shot at working off their hatred of men - others are much more apt to entail organization and commitment at the highest levels.
