I'm trying to avoid the news so not really keeping up. But wasn't there evidence that Rumsfield personally oversaw *interrogations* at the Bay and even rewrote the manual that was followed at Abu Grab?
Soldiers following Rumsfeld's guidelines are now in prison - of course, the lowest in rank. Reminds me of the Battleship Iowa explosion. The navy, at first, blamed a low-ranking gay sailor (conveniently killed in the mishap) rather than admit there was something wrong with the battleship's guns. The Navy knew the guns had a flaw and had malfunctioned but looked for a scapegoat. Why? for fear, the TRUTH would hurt future recruitment.
I still can't believe this mess. I think the Iraqis, who dance and celebrate the downing of a helicopter and deaths of those brave heroes only trying to help them, should have the government they deserve. REINSTATE Saddam Hussein.
