[Eric J in MN]

Reserve Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who was responisible for the Abu Ghraib at which photos were taken of Iraqui prisoners being mistreated, points out that one photo shows 32 boots (NBC News).

Karpinski told Deborah Norville on tonight's MSNBC show that military intelligence was in charge of the cellblock where the interrogations took place, and that Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez is paritally to blame, as the chain of command for these interrogations goes up to him.

1. It's called cover your own ass

and if she succeeds, in rolling the crap upwards, we will see the full extent of this horror

I believe that there are other people in authority who are more responsible for the torture than she is.

3. She jsut told you where to look

Lt. General Ricardo Sanches (three star) and Iraqi theater commander...

Now lets see if Sanches starts to face the music, if he does... we may hear that Abizaid was in the know

Given the response from Myers... it goes all the way to the JCS and the Secretary of Defense... and Wolfowitz, who were at that prison at one time or another... we have photos of that as well... take your own conclusions where this ends... after all the only ones above them are the First Prince and our Regent (Chenney)

By the way, didn't we revolt for these kinds of abuses back in '76?

4. As far as I know, the British didn't

As far as I know, the British didn't strip Americans, put hoods over their heads, and beat them with chairs.

6. No but they detained people for no reason

kept them in jail for indefenite periods and used the word
traitor to keep us in line

Don't worry some of the abuses of the 18th century could make
your blood run cold

Torture was common to extract info, and the tools of the trade were shown to prisoners before being used... any confesion was sufficient proof... and if the boys would have been found to be conspiring againt king and country, they woudl have been hanged and drawn and quartered.

Why do you think the bar for treason charges are so high in American jurisprudence?

Now what I want to see is justice done... and let the chips fall where they may

Unfortunately, that stink is trickling down faster than a trickling tax cut on the rest of us. Now, in the eyes of the world we wish to liberate, *’s motives are seen and smelled for what they are: bullshit and lies.
