Fuck, man. Fuckity fuck fuck.
Read and post to your own LJ, if you would. There is a dimension to this story that needs to be given much greater exposure, and that is this: no matter what our ideals and goals may be, the ends do not justify the means. In terms of victory and defeat in Iraq, Abu Ghraib is the story that turns every other story into the same one:
We lost. We lost the war. We lost our credibility. We lost our soul. There is no coming back from this. There is no excuse for this. There is no forgiveness for this. There is no hope for us until we confront this head-on and hold ourselves, each and every one of us, personally and separately accountable for this.
Fuck.
