Web Weighs In On Iraq Prison Abuse - DU on CBS

[dArKeR]

 As top U.S. officials, including President Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, offered apologies for the abuse of Iraqi detainees by American soldiers, debate raged online about the growing scandal.

While there was widespread agreement across the Web that the mistreatment depicted in widely seen photos from Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison was abhorrent, there were myriad views about just what it meant, based upon region and culture and personal politics.

CBSNews.com searched a variety of Internet message boards for a sampling of opinion.

All excerpts are direct quotes, although some minor editing has taken place. All excerpts are from English language sites.

Note: see the pic of the US Soldier on this link. Please look for any pics shows the helmet with a video cam and/or cameras mounted in the prison hallways. Then please notify me. Thanks!

Note 2: In second pic notice how the floor is wet? That seems unusual since it isn't raining in Iraq.
