Is it just me, or is the right-wing's favorite talking point re: Guantanamo/Abu Ghraib something along the lines of Jeffylube's softball:
"In your denunciations of the Abu Ghraib photos, you've used words like 'sickening,' 'disgusting' and 'reprehensible.' Will you have any adjectives left to adequately describe the pictures from Saddam's rape rooms and torture chambers? And will Americans ever see those images?"
In other words, "you're putting the blame on us after what the folks we ousted did"?
Does this strike anyone else as being a serious case of moral relativism?
They love to pin that label on us. "Oh sure, killing's wrong unless it's an unborn baby or Terri Schiavo." Well, here's a chance to throw the label right back into their faces.
Either torture's wrong or it's not.
I'd like to see, just once, a TV pundit say to a repug, "Is torture wrong or isn't it?" Force him to answer "yes," and then press. "No matter who's doing it, it's wrong. Isn't it?"
Make them choose between moral relativism and going after Dear Leader.
Thoughts please.
