U.S. SOLDIERS TORTURED BEFORE DEATH: And yet Guantanamo will get more ink. And, again, the argument is that it’s a man-bites-dog story when Al Qaeda tortures — but that’s belied by the moral equivalence that we keep seeing in the coverage.

UPDATE: Okay, the above doesn’t really capture what I think, and at the moment I’m at a loss to phrase it better. I’m quite upset by the events, obviously, but I feel that too many people in the coverage are trying to make hay out of it, and, after a few minutes, looking at my post it seems like I did the same thing. I don’t want to take it down, though, since I don’t generally do that. I’ll try to come up with something more coherent later, but I do think that claims that Al Qaeda is torturing our soldiers because of some policy-manual for Guantanamo are implausible, to say the least.

I guess I should have followed Dan Riehl’s advice and stayed silent, though I hadn’t actually read Sullivan’s post when I wrote the initial entry.

ANOTHER UPDATE: A better post than mine, at Gay Patriot.
