If you haven’t read it yet,

May 4, 2004 by Michael Boyle

If you haven’t read it yet,

Sy Hersh’s article about Iraqi prison abuses is online.

I haven’t commented about all of this, because frankly words have escaped me. I do know three things, however.

  1. Any American leader who pleads “isolated incident” is going to be subject to ridicule.
  2. To me, the leadership (military and ‘intelligence’) who say they didn’t know anything about this is as culpable in this as the torturers.
  3. These are war crimes and should be tried as such.
