Kennedy and Equivalence

The senior senator from Massachusetts had the following comments concerning the Abi Ghraib pictures:

"Shamefully now we learn that Saddam's torture chambers have been reopened under new management, United States management,"

I think the man who let Mary Jo Kopechne drown is about to eat his words...again:

First, the photographs. They are of actual live castrations of Kurds.

Now, the video tapes:

Two beheadings, during one of which "Happy Birthday, Saddam" is being sung in Arabic.

Fingers being cut off one by one from a hand tied to a board.

People being thrown off four-story buildings, one forced to wear a Superman costume.

A man scourged ninety-nine times.

Three different instances of gas poisonings (probably employing different types), including dead babies.

A man with a dog leash around his neck being led by a piece of garbage woman does not even begin to reach the horrific heights of what Saddam did. Kennedy should apologize, but alas, he will not.
