Rush Limbaugh doesn't get it; he thinks the abuse of Iraqi prisoners has simplybeen overblown in order to embarrass George Bush. Reporting on Rush's reaction, Dick Myer of CBS is right that worse things have been inflicted on some of our troops. He is also right that we have set a higher standard for ourselves, in the hopes that our example could make life better for other people. Now that American soldiers have betrayed our ideals in a systematic, degrading manner, we have lost much of our moral standing to lead reform in Iraq.
