Both of these acts are sickening. They shouldnt be compared. The power of the visual image is amazing. Neither of these topics would be blips on the proverbial radar if there wasnt this hardcore evidence to back it up. I know that human rights groups such as Amnesty International have been rallying for months about this whole Prisoner Abuse Scandal, but only after the photos have been leaked that politicians and the top brass are ducking and weaving. The power that a visual image has is truly amazing.
