Hannity debated Rosie O'Donnell on Abu Ghraib abuse: no torture or rape, just "underwear on the head of one" prisoner

Appearing on ABC's daytime talk show The View, Fox News host Sean Hannity downplayed the abuse of prisoners by U.S. military personnel at Abu Ghraib by claiming that the extent of the abuse was limited to "underwear on the head of one of them."

HANNITY: There was underwear on the head of one of them. We're not raping and killing anybody.

O'DONNELL: Oh, my God. I think you're delusional.
