"They hate our freedom"

Or so Bush and his officials have told us repeatedly when explaining their rationale for waging this vast war on terrorism.

Bullshit.

Today's NYT has an extremely compelling account of American Donald Vance's experience as a detainee in Iraq.

If they'll treat an innocent American citizen like this, how much worse do they treat innocent Iraqis? And how in the name of God can anyone expect that similarly detained Muslims could fail to bitterly hate Americans because of it?

How many of our soldiers over there have been killed or will be killed by relatives of a wrongly detained and badly treated Iraqi looking for revenge?

They hate us for our freedom?

Bullshit!
