Abu Ghraib

The Baltimore Sun has an article you should read. It seems that the blame for the torture of prisoners goes beyond the soldiers in the now-infamous photographs. Not that they aren't still culpable; but I would like to see all of the military intelligence, CIA, and "contractors" involved also have to pay.

Your tax dollars are going to pay for this:

"They stressed him out so bad that the man passed away," Frederick writes. The corpse was packed in ice and later prepared to suggest falsely that the prisoner had died under medical care: "The next day the medics came in and put his body on a stretcher, placed a fake I.V. [intravenous drip] in his arm and took him away. This OGA [prisoner] was never processed and therefore never had a number."
