It's all about managing the media. Remember the embedded journalists? Rummy will distribute any video or pictures that make America look good, but as soon as the pictures are either unpleasant or wrong, Rummy tries to censor them.
I have two real issues with what happened in Abu Grahib.
1. It makes America look really bad. Although most Americans don't care because they believe the US is the center of the universe and can do no wrong.
2. Will US soldiers have any chance if they are captured by the enemy? If I were an Iraqi, after seeing those pictures....
