that he was allowed to keep his show on AFN after he became a full-blown apologist for torture during the Abu Gharib scandal in 2004-though given how what happened was more or less "official" policy I guess I shouldn't be but it surely could not have made the damage control effort very easy to have him on AFN of all places trying to make such behaviour "ok" while the rest of the (mis-)administration was trying to claim that the perps were just a few bad eggs.

Yeah, cutting down the CIC is REALLY good for troop morale. It just doesn't fit.
