The first rule of Abu Ghraib is that
Abu Ghraib only involved the enlisted
According to Big Brain Brian at Hot Air:
Abu Ghraib continues to be a major public relations disaster, and is continually used to smear our good troops in the field every day by the left in the West and by the terrorist propagandists around the world. Abu Ghraib is one of many points upon which many on the left have made alliance with the terrorists, as they both use it to run a PR pincer attack against the US military. The fact that the military cleaned up the Abu Ghraib mess, and the fact that the terrorists themselves do worse things every day as part of their mainline strategy, doesn’t deter the left/terrorists in their continual Abu Ghraib-based attacks. Continuing to use Abu Ghraib by pundits in the west is unserious and reflects a basic ignorance of the fight; either that, or an alliance with the enemy.
And here I thought Abu Ghraib was an example of lack of control and a denial of responsibility by superior officers, none of whom were called to account in any serious way. It was also indicative of the contempt that certain members of the military felt toward a people that were supposed to be freeing from the rape rooms and torture chambers of Saddam Hussein.
I guess that's one way of saying that the mess was "cleaned up".
We officially lost the war and our moral standing with regard to the invasion when Abu Ghraib was revealed and to this day only the "unserious" remain ignorant of that fact.
