O’Reilly: Abu Ghraib Scandal Was ‘Blown Out Of Proportion’
thinkprogress.org — Even O ’Reilly had to admit, “That wasn’t small. … That wasn’t big.” Eventually though, O’Reilly came around and agreed, “Well, I think we all agree that that was blown out of proportion.”

- hawkeye17, on 10/17/2007, -0/+7Notice this moron doesn't debate the facts of the story. I guess to people like spankaccount, it's not 'news' unless its Fox News and that is truly ignorant. Open your mind a bit..if you have one.
- spankaccount, on 10/19/2007, -13/+1As much as I hate Bill. He’s right in this issue. A lot of Troofers and Moonbats think the call to mess with these Iraqi detainees came from up high, that make no sense considering the fact that these detainees were not important Al Qaida leaders or anything like that. There was no reason to make them talk - they had nothing to talk about. Unless you think that America tortures people just for fun, and films it.
I’m just glad we got the people where were really responsible for this and put them in jail.- chicofaraby, on 10/19/2007, -0/+8Torture is a crime. George Bush's administration ordered people tortured. George Bush is a war criminal.

- caferrell, on 10/17/2007, -0/+11The tortures and humiliations, the depraved mockery of human dignity that took place at Abu Ghraib almost certainly was not planned, ordered or even openly condoned from on high. However, the powers in the Pentagon and White House made it clear that they felt that human rights of Iraqis were of any importance. That was reinforced by the lack of oversight at Abu Ghraib.
The bottom line is that this tragedy was tremendously important. The tortures and humiliations have turned the Arab world farther against us. They will remember Abu Ghraib for generations.
Supposedly we are trying to build a democracy based on the rule of law in Iraq, but we scoff at human rights and law. We are seen to be evil and hateful occupiers. Abu Ghraib was NOT "overblown".- chase001, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1It wasn't planned at all. Privates just run wild in the military with no supervision and do whatever they like.
- vatosplace, on 10/17/2007, -0/+9The only thing that is overblown is O'Reilly's ego.

HAHAHAHA!! Are you serious!?! You have less than zero understanding about what you are talking about!! The picture of the man with the hood and electrical wires on his fingers is being subjected to a CLASSIC BRAZILIAN-INVENTED TORTURE TECHNIQUE!!!
I'm sure a bunch of enlisted idiots brushed up on their South American Coup d'état torture techniques, then photographed it!! Just when you think people can't get any more retarded, someone always opens their mouth and proves you wrong. - GreedKills, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2So much *****, when will people wake up and stop watching him?
