...Ghraib scandal by the New Yorker’s Seymour Hersh, and 60 Minutes II. But journalists who cross the White House should be forewarned—this is an Administration known for blacklisting its perceived enemies in the press corps, withholding interviews and other goodies. You can hardly blame journalists for worrying that an indiscrete article or bit of footage might land them out on the street, looking for work with Karen and Alberto...
...easy and attractive as it is to simply blame the poor for their position, it’s this type of anecdotal evidence that often deludes people into thinking that the poverty problem is one that really shouldn’t concern them.

At Gilly's the active soldiers sitting near Blackman jump in, clearly eager for a chance to vent. Some express disgust. But wherever they cast the blame, they all agree on one thing: though a handful of U.S. troops may be responsible for Abu Ghraib, it is the thousands of servicemen and -women who are in Iraq and who, like the troops from the Rock of the Marne, may be going back there soon who have to face...
