Your choice of champion on this issue is interesting, as Sen. Inhofe takes a very different view than our president. As reported by CNN, Pres. Bush appeared outraged and sickened by the images of prisoner abuse:
"I told him I was equally sorry that the people that have been seeing those pictures did not understand the true nature and the heart of America, and I assured him that Americans like me didn't appreciate what we saw and it made us sick to our stomachs," Bush said.
The U.S. president added that he "made it clear to his majesty that the troops we have in Iraq are the finest of the fine, fantastic United States citizens who represent the very best qualities."

Your president seems to think that sympathy for the prisoners is appropriate and that their mistreatment is sickening. Whose perspective is out of the mainstream here?I believe it is yours and Sen. Inhofe's.
