McCain - you've got to admire the guy:

From Talking Points Memo: (emphasis added)

Sen. Inhofe on Abu Ghraib: "I'm probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment ... These prisoners, you know they're not there for traffic violations. If they're in cellblock 1-A or 1-B, these prisoners, they're murderers, they're terrorists, they're insurgents. Many of them probably have American blood on their hands and here we're so concerned about the treatment of those individuals."

According to CNN, McCain walked out during Inhofe's statement.

NOTE: At time of this posting, the reports indicate McCain walked out in reaction to Inhofe. But that isn't certain.
