Abuses May Go Higher
Knowledge of Abuse May Go Higher Yet (washingtonpost.com). Basically now we have Lt Col asking a Lt General to torture someone. So it ain't just seven privates and a corporatl.
Reminds me also that the last line of defense is really an aggressive press. With the president and his folks taking such sweeping powers. The Congress cowed and hiding behind the Patriot Act and the Judiciary essentially saying that heck, just declare anyone a "illegal combatent" and I can't even hear your case, really only the fourth estate is left and the Internet.
Thank god for both of these. Make me want to donate to the ACLU tomorrow.
