huh--so ustwo, i assume that for you a series of conclusions follow from the near non-sequitor you posted--the article is not about the photos from abu ghraib---but if i overlook the non-sequitor character of your post and work out where you could be going, it seems that your "argument" is because the nytimes misidentified who was behind the hood in that photo, then anything it publishes about torture in iraq is invalild?
it is not surprising that you do not actually state this conclusion--which is the only one inferrable.
i dont see much in it except an attempt to reduce dissonance.
personal aside:
i would imagine that you would see in this something problematic, were you to step outside the usual character ustwo plays and think about what is presented.
call me pollyanna, but i do not imagine that ustwo encompasses all of who you--the person who makes ustwo happen---are or how you view the world, any more than roachboy encompasses all i am or how i think about the world.
it would be interesting to get a glimpse of how that other guy, the 3-d guy, operates sometime.
judging from your posts in other spaces here, it seems that ustwo in politics is a narrow construct. i sometimes undertand how ustwo in politics works and why he is as he is, but not in this case.
i suspect it must be difficult holding the ustwo persona in politics together sometimes--but that is a simple speculation on my part.
no idea what kind of response i am looking for, or if one is required. i am just a bit baffled by the move above, and curious about what motivates it--and more generally how you see this ustwo persona, what you see it as doing, how it works and why.
