3. I couldn't finish that...
I cannot bear this woman's very justifiable outrage. The things the Bushies have put her through...you were in charge of Abu Ghraib, so we're going to dump responsibility for all our sins on you...totally unacceptable.

I think Lynndie and Graner need to rot in hell, but then again so do the CIA people the president said he wasn't going to prosecute...so pardoning the "seven bad apples" would be okay.

5. quote and link to transcript
"KARPINSKI:  Absolutely not.  This is one of the most shameful aspects of these memos.  And a knowledge that people at the highest levels of our government had about this memos, actually sat together and wrote them and rewrote them and crafted them to meet the requirements of these techniques that they wanted to use.  They were well aware—these people, Rumsfeld, Sanchez, all of them were well aware of these policies and these memorandums while these soldiers were being accused five years ago.

And if it was OK, Mr. Former Vice President, if you‘re saying that this was necessary today and that it produced good intelligence, where were you five years ago, stepping up to the plate and saying, “Hold on, we can‘t discuss this because this is classified information, but these soldiers did not design these techniques”?  Where were all of those heroes then to step up to the plate and to defend these soldiers and to defend me?"

then withdrew after 9/11?

7. The world honors her service? The woman belongs in prison.
Not only did she sign documents on mistreating prisoners, this person joked about how well Abu Ghraib prisoners were being treated.

12. I'm surprised this general is not seen as the outraged hero/leader that DU would get it up for.
