I don't think it's impossible for any situation to be handled with wit. Abu Ghraib was not one of those cases, but I can see how they could be satirized in a tasteful way. I'm not saying that tasteless jokes don't exist, I'm saying that nothing is off limits for those who can appropriately approach it.
