IN THE NEWS
A few obvious pointers to Central Command:
- Keeping Abu Ghraib functioning as a prison poisons relations with the Iraqis. If you haven't noticed already, it smacks a bit of the way the Soviets used recently-liberated Nazi death camps as their own mass prisons and labor camps. You may think the comparison is unfair, but you're stuck with it.
- As long as it remains standing at all, it's an attractive symbol to insurgents looking to score a few political points by attacking it.
Fire up the bulldozers and knock it down already.
