Remember how Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) described the Abu Ghraib photos and tapes we didn't see?

<snip>MR. RUSSERT: Senator Graham, there's speculation that this is politics, that White House officials were quote anonymously saying, "Well, if we allow Congress to see it and then senators and congressmen will come out and soften up the impact on the public by saying, `You wouldn't believe these pictures,' and by the time they're ultimately released, the shock value will have diminished." Is this what you're hearing?

SEN. GRAHAM: Well, I guess in terms of the photos, you know, this command influence argument is a real argument. In a military legal system--and General Clark has probably performed this role, commanders prefer charges, commanders refer charges. So commanders can't say things that are going to taint the court-martial. That's a great concept, but this is really not about that. These photos have to be discussed in terms of our national security interests. If there are more photos out there detailing abuse and terrible behavior, if there's a videotape out there, for God sakes, let's talk about it, because men and women's lives are at stake given how we handle this. So I want to get it all out on the table. I don't think that will create a command influence problem.

This is not just about humiliation, Tim. The allegations in this report involve rape and murder. Please, don't leave this whole scenario thinking that this is just about a humiliating experience. This is about system failure. This is about felony offenses. And if there's more to come, let's get it out, as a nation work through it and show the world that Republicans and Democrats may disagree on the policy and the war in Iraq, but we have the ability to make sure those accountable are going to be held accountable. And it's just not going to be six privates and sergeants. Other people are going to be held accountable. But Republicans and Democrats need to come together to prove to the world that our system works. Let's get it out.

3. The RWing Spin Machine managed this into a "Few bad apples"

and now it is another minor scandal as fresh scandals hit almost day by day.

I often wonder if there is anything that could bring this rotten Busholini Regime down.

And then we saw Graham return to fellating his masters responsible for the despicable crimes committed at Abu Ghraib.
