*Ø* Blogmanac | Limbaugh on sincerity of public outrage
"On May 10 – while President George W. Bush, during his visit to the Pentagon, reacted with 'deep disgust and disbelief' to new photos and video clips of the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. guards – radio host Rush Limbaugh continued to downplay the severity of the prison abuse; suggested it was 'decent punishment'; and questioned the sincerity of the outrage expressed by Democrats, the media, and the public."
Limbaugh: "How many of you went out to social occasions over the weekend and this subject, this story came up? And how many of you wanted to really say, 'I don't see the big deal here. This is war. These are people who tried to kill Americans.'"

[Note that not all, if any, of those abused were trying "to kill Americans", and at least one of them was released without charge after their torture sessions.]
