The big news is about prisoner mistreatment in Iraq, as detailed here and in many, many other news venues. While I agree that surrendering troops need to be treated well and those responsible for abuses need to be probably court martialed, stripped of rank, and likely flogged themselves; let's take a step back here for a second. I find it ironic that many of the same regional news agencies screaming for blood on this issue were the same ones gleefully showing mobs killing, kicking, then hanging corpses from a bridge in Fallujah and presenting that as a good thing. Wrong is wrong and you need to show it all across the board. That goes for our media too.
By way of comparison , here's a prisoner I have little but contempt for. I figure any child abuser, much less one that sexually assaults children, has a very narrow scope in which they can appeal to society's feelings. Not even a crocodile tear for this situation.

ESPN has hired John Kruk to do an article for them, mostly focusing on baseball I presume. I was real skeptical going into this but he writes really well. Take a look at his latest comment and go back through his past couple articles as well.
