Photos depicting atrocities only describable as appalling and inhumane from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2004 shocked the sensibilities of Americans. Military personnel took the blame, while the perpetrators of the Iraq war got off the hook.

Arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby got hold of the tablet in some circuitous manner and placed it in its Museum of the Bible. It was only recently returned to its rightful owners—the people of Iraq.

The claim is that such missiles were used against Gaza the last time around and could be used like that again. This is a harder line of offense than is usual from the U.S. House.
