>>I think that the US has a higher moral standard to follow.
In principle I think you are right, but in reality we lost the moral high
ground in the eyes of that part of the world ages ago. Now everything we do,
even if it is nothing is the wrong thing. I am not saying we should have
abused the prisoners though.
>>Al Queda is beyond anyone's pale, except their supporters.
True, but it has to be extremely difficult to tell the Al Queda people from
normal civilians out there on a daily basis. Which at least to me explains
the sweeps, netting alot of civilians who are later let go. If Al Queda is
such a thorny issue with "normal" Islamists, how come they havent railed
against the group and taken matters into their own hands? If they are such
an affront to Islam, why are they still around, with the billions of
Islamists around the world?

Mike,
I think that the US has a higher moral standard to follow. Al Queda is
beyond anyone's pale, except their supporters. I was listening to an article
on NPR this morning. They interviewed a number of people in the streets of
Baghdad about it. They were as horrified over what happened as we have been.
We have to show that we are above what these Islamicists believe.
