I think this is reasonable. The Abu Ghraib situation was about as sickening as anything I have ever seen, if for no other reason than its stupidity. Those who would make it more than it is are not being rational.

Those who are responsible are being brought to justice and the nation has admitted a horrible embarrasment. Compare this to the actions of our enemies. Human nature is frail sometimes, but our system compensates gloriously.
