Religious Right Leaders Blame Iraqi Prison Abuse Scandal On MTV

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director, made the following comment: “This is one of the stupidest things said about the Abu Ghraib scandal to date. Seeing Colson and Perkins stoop this low should not really surprise me, but I’m disappointed at their lack of imagination. Surely they could have found some way to blame the scandal on same-sex marriage, Bill Clinton or activist judges. Blaming every horrible thing that happens on MTV is SO ’80s.”
