Politics from North of the 49th Parallel

How could any decent human being want to 'limit' this scandal?

"The publication of more photos showing the abuse and degradation of prisoners in Iraq prompted U.S. President George W. Bush to apologize Thursday for the humiliation they had suffered."

"The new photos threaten U.S. efforts to limit a scandal spiralling out of control. They come amid reports from the International Committee for the Red Cross that its officials were worried about activities at Abu Ghraib prison, near Baghdad, long before stories of mistreatment became public."

'Prompted'? How about 'forced'?

Heaping disgrace upon disgrace.

i wish it was limited to a single individual (if it had to happen at all) and a single instance.

since thats not happening, i agree the next worse alternative would be to gloss it over and hope its forgotten.
