positions. No, when you are talking about the military, the actions of "a few" also include RESPONSIBLE leaders from sergeant up to the highest civilian leadership at the pentagon.
DO you honestly believe that TORTURE has ceased JUST BECAUSE Obama said it must beginning with his Presidency? Really? The people who carried out these techniques have not even had to scatter into the woodwork. THEY ARE STILL IN CHARGE.
Why is Gates still Sec Def? He's WAS part of Iran-Contra. Remember Iran Contra?
http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/walsh/chap_16.htmWhat about our Golden Boy, General "Peaches" Petraeus? Do YOU realize that he was HIP DEEP in financial (War Profiteering) corruption investigations that were later swept under the rug upon the "alleged suicide" of a West Point Colonel who MAY have been prepared to blow the whistle on Petraesous covert actions?
Bryce concluded: "In September 2005, the Army's inspector general concluded an investigation into allegations raised in the anonymous letter to Westhusing shortly before his death. It found no basis for any of the issues raised. Although the report is redacted in places, it is clear that the investigation was aimed at determining whether Fil or Petraeus had ignored the corruption and human rights abuses allegedly occurring within the training program for Iraqi security personnel." Since then, the corruption and failed training angles have drawn wide attention although the Petraeus's role, good or bad, has not.

Since then, the corruption and failed training angles have drawn wide attention although the Petraeus's role, good or bad, has not. The writer returned to the case this past February with another Texas Observer article. I've run out of space here so I will merely quote its opening and link to it:
Since last March, when I wrote a story about the apparent suicide of Col. Ted Westhusing in Iraq, I had believed there was nothing else to write about his tragic death. But in December, I talked to a source in the Department of Defense who met Westhusing in Iraq about three months before his death. The source, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals, was investigating claims of wrongdoing against military contractors working in Iraq. After a short introduction, I asked him what he thought had happened to Westhusing. 'I think he was killed. I honestly do. I think he was murdered,' the source told me. 'Maybe DOD didn't have enough evidence to call it murder, so they called it suicide.'"
And then there's our new HERO,
General McCrystal and his involvement in the Pat Tillman FANTASY and Cover-up. Tillman's parents want general's record reviewed
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090513/ap_on_go_ot/us_afghanistan_general_3In a brief interview with The Associated Press, Pat Tillman Sr. accused Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal of covering up the circumstances of the 2004 slaying.
"I do believe that guy participated in a falsified homicide investigation," Pat Tillman Sr. said.
Separately, Mary Tillman called it "imperative" that McChrystal's record be carefully considered before he is confirmed.
Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Defense Secretary Robert Gates has complete confidence in McChrystal, whom he hopes can be confirmed by the Senate before month's end.
"We feel terrible for what the Tillman family went through, but this matter has been investigated thoroughly by the Pentagon, by the Congress, by outside experts, and all of them have come to the same conclusion: that there was no wrongdoing by Gen. McChrystal," Morrell said.
DO WE SEE A PATTERN HERE?!?The same EVIL LEADERS are still CONTROLLING our military in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Given the above evidence: Do you HONESTLY believe that there will be any JUSTICE or even a ceasing of PRISONER ABUSE (it will go covert) if Obama does NOT release these damn Photos and we don't INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE the appropriate Military Leaders under the UCMJ.
Obama is enabling THE TORTURERS THEMSELVES (leadership involved in actions and subsequent cover-up). These Generals and Civilian Leader (Gates) are still RUNNING these occupations. :grr:
This was NOT Chess by Obama, this is PROOF that "The Pentagon runs Barter town." :nuke:
