Iraqi Prison Abuse: Not Just a Few Soldiers
Abuse Report Widens Scope of Culpability
Generals Point to Contractors, Military Intelligence Soldiers
Like many American's I was/am pretty ashamed of the Iraqi prisoner abuse. We've supposed to be the good guys and this isn't what good guys do. Elephant has even called on Defense Secretary Rumsfeld (who has been oddly absent from the public stage since the scandal) to resign. Well, as we suspected the problem wasn't just a few rogue soliders, but a lack of discipline and a poor command structure. I'll say it again, Rummy needs to go.
