During questioning of Maj. Gen. Taguba today, Senator James M. Inhofe of 
Oklahoma, said "I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more 
outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.....these prisoners, 
they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents....many of them 
have American blood on their hands.  And here we're so concerned about the 
treatment of those individuals....I am also outraged that we have so many 
humanitarian do-gooders right now crawling all over these prisons, looking 
for human rights violations while our troops, our heros, are fighting and 
dying."  Yes, indeed.  American troops are fighting and dying.  It's also 
true that a Red Cross report released yesterday reports that up to 90 
percent of Iraqi detainees were arrested "by mistake."  How many of these 
abused prisoners are guilty of nothing?
