And We Worry About Abu Grhaib

From WSJ Opinion Journal:

The Jerusalem Post reports on another [tsunami] theory:

The earthquake that struck the Indian Ocean on December 26, triggering a series of huge waves called tsunami, "was possibly" caused by an Indian nuclear experiment in which "Israeli and American nuclear experts participated," an Egyptian weekly magazine reported Thursday.

According to Al-Osboa', India, in its heated nuclear race with Pakistan, has lately received sophisticated nuclear know-how from the United States and Israel, both of which "showed readiness to cooperate with India in experiments to exterminate humankind."

This further underscores the absurdity of hand-wringing over the effect of the Abu Ghraib abuses on America's image in the Muslim world. America isn't perfect, but even if it were, that wouldn't stop anti-American propagandists from making up stuff like this.
