According to Rumsfeld, we haven't seen the worst acts of torture and

degradation inflicted by US soldiers on Iraqi prisoners.


Stick that up your denials, Gaquin.


Crude response, but not atypical, Harry.

Actually, if you read carefully you'll find that what Rumsfeld actually

said

is that there are more photos and tapes of the crimes already committed

at

abu Ghraib that are already the subject of reports and investigation.

Of

course, this in no way ameliorates the situation, but nor does it

exacerbate

it. Taking one hundred pictures of a train wreck instead of fifteen
pictures does not mean there were more train wrecks. But it does mean

that

those who don't pay attention can be made to think that there were more
train wrecks, if someone wants to convince them of that.

If you also read the Taguba report, two things are clear.

1) The leadership, training, and command oversight within the 800 MP

Brigade

was seriously deficient.


The deficiencies in leadership in this country go all the way to the
top. The buck stops on Bush's desk.


Was Clinton responsible for the savage deaths of postal workers by
fellow
postal employees in the 1990's? By your twisted logic, he should have
been.
The buck stopped at Clintons desk, didn't it?.






Duh...Bush is, god help us, CiC. The US Postal Service is a semi-private
corporation, with its own leader who is accountable to the postal board
of governors, not the POTUS.

BUSH is responsible for the horrendous acts our troops perpetrated on
POWs. He is the CiC. The buck stops on his desk.

Sorry jacko, the Postal Service is not independent of the US Government and
is subject to laws executed by the President and Executive Branch.

Duh.
