Who were they? "as were those of more senior officers who happened to be visiting."
http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/004864.php

One former official said interrogators' faces were visible on at least one video, as were those of more senior officers who happened to be visiting.

Is it the "other more senior officers" that is being covered up? How high up did it go? If they were watching, they definitely approved it. Not one word about this since the story broke. We need to know who they were and then we will know how high it went.

1. My God. It sounds almost as though they were all standing around WATCHING
this TORTURE. That is so disturbing.

9. Well, my theory is that the intelligence community is using this story
as an opportunity to tar Bush/Cheney and mainly, Cheney. They are the source for most of the information we're getting, and, they have no stake in implicating each other or even DOD officers -- or, none that I can think of.

10. Kadena Airmen (Special Ops) in Thailand - 2004
(I don't know if this is anything but it came up first. The mission officer is Lt. Col. David Mobley. He doesn't sound very "senior".)

November 9, 2004


By David Allen, Stars and Stripes European Edition

U.S. servicemembers accomplish more than honing their skills for war when they are deployed for training throughout Asia. They also find time to volunteer to return something to the communities that host them.

For instance, more than 100 airmen from Kadena’s 353rd Special Operations Group now are deployed to Thailand. But they, and the Army and Navy unit also training with the Thai army, all found time to bring a bit of cheer to a Chonburi children’s home.

On a recent weekend, about a dozen members of the 353rd SOG painted shelves, installed a sink and repaired bicycles for children at the Mercy Children’s Center, said Master Sgt. Michael Farris, 353rd SOG Public Affairs.

They also contributed food to the center and adjacent community.

I'll look and see if I can find where I read it.

OOps I posted 2003 instead of 2002 but you can go to 2002 archives.
