Double Standard

Remember the flap that occurred when soldiers in Iraq called Secretary Rumsfeld onto the carpet for Washington's shortcomings in running their war? Huge press. Enormous press. But when soldiers at Guantanamo gave "a piece of their mind" to Senators Kennedy (D-MA) and Akaka (D-HI), the only mention is in the Washington Times. The rest of the press is silent on the issue. Hat tip to Drudge.
