I don't even know where to put this.
There is a blurb on Huffington Post about the fact that 500 prisoners (some described as "senior Al Qaeda members") apparently escaped from Abu Ghraib prison today amidst some kind of "assault" (their words) from insurgents.
And a shitload of people got killed in the process.
For those who don't know or remember the significance of Abu Ghraib prison? That's the prison where our American soldiers took dehumanizing and disgusting photos of prisoners (pissing on them and nude dogpiles) that when discovered, helped fuel HUGE resentment toward America.
And yes, this is a huge oversimplification.
But what fucks with my head? Is that the HEADLINE today is Kate Middleton having a fucking baby.
I am not even amazed anymore at what the news orgs will place value on when reporting but this is just gross to me.
Anyway, I just needed to vent.
