Meanwhile, In Iraq

This is a decent and thought provoking essay on the fallout from the image’s an actions of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Lots to ponder. Is this the act a few errant few (the individual) or the reaction by the masses (our society) to the anger felt after 9/11, or the anger felt at being in Iraq in the first place? Is it a systemic reaction of a military at odds with its civilian leaders? Does it portend of things to come, of a nation at the top of the world and yet not yet mature enough to carry the weight and responsibility on its shoulders.
