The White House's fear of the Geneva Convention | Rumsfeld Should Resign | More by Hersh on Abu Ghraib | The Tyranny of the Weedman
The White House ditched the conventions and protections of the Geneva Convention for "unlawful combatants" who fought with Taliban and Al-Qaeda held captive at Gitmo in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Then they decided to do the same with lawful military combatants captured on the battefields of Iraq according to the Newsweek investigation "The Roots of Torture."
Seymour Hersh alleges that the roots of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal lie not in the criminal inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision, approved last year by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in his latest article "The Gray Zone" in the current issue of The New Yorker.
Even the New York Post says Rumsfeld should resign.
This is only an Onion satire, but how true do most of those "man-on-the-street" quotes about the Iraqi Prison abuse scandal ring?
With news from Iraq becoming ever bleaker, the president’s numbers are way down according to the latest Newsweek poll, but he still hasn’t lost ground to John Kerry.
Most people only seem to check for me on my music posts so I was impressed to get cited as a source on the Newberry For Congress :: Official Blog.
But to end on a lighter note, read about the tyranny of the Weedman. (WNBC.com)
