Conservative response to prison abuses

I'm sure the reader knows that blogs are clearly not the most reliable sources for news analysis. However, an interesting debate arose in the blogosphere in the last week over the "conservative response" to the revelations of abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. This post at a liberatarian magazine, Reason, attempts to summarize the debate and provide a listing of prominent conservatives' opinions about the scandal.

...weblogger [Publius]... on Dec. 21 published a much-linked "Conservative Case for Outrage," which posed a question that's been asked a few times before: Where's the outrage from prominent conservatives?

To help begin to locate an answer, I conducted Lexis searches on "Abu Ghraib," "prison," "abuse," and the names of three prominent conservative commentators: William Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, and Rich Lowry.
