I find it amazing that the majority of news agencies and the political left continue to keep the story of the “abused” prisoners on the front page. What I don’t understand is the same press and outrage over the brutal murder of Nick Berg.

The anti-war groups are appalled at the handling of these poor prisoners but do not show the same level of concern for an innocent American trying to further his company in Iraqi.

We all should remember we are at war and will be for along time to come. These prisoners are the same people who were trying to kill our soldiers and their fellow countrymen. They were in prison because they were dangerous and had information on their fellow terrorist, murdering thugs. What we saw and what was done to them was nothing more then a way of getting information that would protect our troops and to humiliate them at the same time.

Unfortunately our administration has bowed under the left-wing pressure to make someone responsible, but let us not forget we are at war.
