The Blame Game

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and play the Abu Gharib Blame Game.  Spin the wheel of blame.  Round and round she goes, and where she stops, nobody knows.  Via Hit & Run, we learn that Kathleen Parker blames the Farrelly brothers. The Pakistan Daily Times states the blame lies with “‘US military intelligence had role in prison abuses’." The PHXnews.com blames George Bush. I’m certain, if I wanted to take more time to search the web, I could find enough who is to blame theories to keep an individual busy for weeks.

The blame lies squarely with the individuals who participated in the abuses, and their immediate superiors, whom, no doubt, were aware of what was going on in Abu Gharib before the story broke.  So quit the political hand wringing and head hunting, appropriately hold responsible those directly involved, and move on.  There is no jackpot in the Abu Gharib Blame Game.
