I read that article a couple of hours ago. I wish I agreed with her that this case will cause some level of reflection, as did the Abu Ghraib photos. But I don't see that happening.

It's not like Abu Ghraib isn't still oper--- well, shit.

Everything this article says. EVERYTHING.

And yes, up to and including the Abu Ghraib reference. I disagree with angledge. This will cause some level of reflection, and outrage. The trick is we need to continue to talk about it, not shut up about it, not let it die.
