Did the campus cops at the University of Florida train at Abu Ghraib?  Don’t watch this video if you’re sensitive to the gratuitous infliction of pain on human beings.  The "statement" by the University President, J. Bernard Machen, that follows is disgraceful:  it’s the worst possible example of administrative mealy-mouthness and lack of perspective I’ve seen in a very long time. 

UPDATE:  The plot thickens!  Though this hardly explains the tasering.  Paul Craig Roberts comments.  So, too, does Ruchira Paul.
