		The execution and beheading of the young Nicholas Berg, as retaliation for the Abu Ghraib abuses, seems to tell another tale: that as bad as our behavior was at Abu Ghraib, there is a big difference between humiliating a prisoner and murdering an innocent.
		Some critics argue that Abu Ghraib is proof that our troops were ill-trained for their Iraqi adventure, and that America was not ready to take on the challenges of pacifying post-war Iraq.
		Others say the roots of Abu Ghraib were planted long ago - whether intentional policy directed by Rumsfeld, or merely an echo of the very same disregard for the rights of suspected terrorists as shown by the President in his State of the Union earlier this year.
