An Apology From Al-Qaida By Yamin Zakaria, UK Jun 20, 2004 George Bush apologized for all the abuses, tortures, rapes and murders in Abu-Ghraib and then expected the Islamic world to forgive it. Imagine if the Al-Qaida leadership issued an apology for the execution of Paul Johnson and then went on to explain that the perpetrators acted on their own initiatives. They lacked training and were not aware of the rules of the Geneva Convention. Would the Americans be prepared to accept such an explanation and a similar apology to the one that was issued by George Bush with regards to Abu-Ghraib? The media instantly deployed terms like 'barbaric', savage', 'evil' to describe the execution of Paul Johnson but not 'scandal'. So, why do the murders of prisoners in Abu-Ghraib, Bagram and elsewhere qualify only to be a 'scandal'? Would it have been accepted as a 'scandal' if one of the Al-Qaida members posed smiling with his thumbs up in front of the dead body and the severed head? Similarly, the world leaders rushed to condemn the execution but such swift words and strong emotions could not be heard for the thousands of civilians including women and children that have perished in Iraq.
