Um, you retract things that you say with a response. That's exactly my point. Let me spell it out for you.

He was referring to those initial pictures, and he was not at all defending them, he was putting them into perspective, which by the way wouldn't even be necessary if it weren't for certain peoples almost sadistic glee exploiting this news.

So, given that you said his comments above were out-of-context and referred to the initial pictures, I'm giving Rush the opportunity to defend himself. Rush should come out with a follow-on statement saying that he is now convinced that the torture at the prison was *not* just people having a "good time".
Still waiting.
So, are you implying that I get sadistic glee out of being horrified that our troops committed rape, sodomy, necrophilia, and torture in a prison where Saddam did the same? Do you really think that this isn't a big deal? This is terrible. Bush has set back middle-east relations 50 years.
