Because yeah, an under-funded, non-profit org that helps poor people is just like the Iraq War's prisoner torture/homicide scandal that rocked the Bush administration, right?

According to today's LA Times editorial page it is:

Liberals still don't buy the Bush administration's explanation for the Abu Ghraib scandal -- that the humiliation and torture of prisoners at the Iraq facility was the work of a handful of misguided U.S. troops, not the result of a culture and policies put in place by those higher up the chain of command. Yet many seem willing to accept a strikingly similar defense by leaders of the Assn. of Community Organizations for Reform Now following an attack by the right.

Behold the liberal media.
