The validity of that assertion is firm. Tell you what -- you go dig up articles telling us how evil the beheading or the burned contractors were and I'll go dig up articles telling us how evil the Abu Ghraib events are, and we'll compare -- betcha dollars to donuts I win.
But, to follow your cue, the whole "playing the victim" thin at Abu Ghraib only serves to move the discussion away from the important central themes -- that these are terrorists and deserve nothing other than hellfire and brimstone and a boot up the ass.
