By way of Rocket Jones, this nugget of brevity from Mr. Green:

Abu Ghraib represents a betrayal of our principles, while this murder [Nicholas Berg - RJ] represents an expression of theirs.

That's about the best summation of the relationship between the two events as I've seen.

Wow. That IS it in a nutshell. Now if only the them of "theirs" was as easy to define as the us of "our." Still. Mr. Green is utterly exact.

Thanks for the mention. Lest I be misunderstood, the "them" I was speaking of there is Al Qaeda, not Muslims or Arabs or Middle Easterners in general. Don't want to pull a Gene Simmons here...

Mr. Green, I think we all knew what you meant - and your admirable precis would have been unnecessarily lengthened by spelling it out.

I'm sure you're right, Buckethead. Just a little paranoid today is all.

Cool blog, BTW.
