pick up the latest issue of the new yorker

(i haven't read one in AGES i must admit). in the march 24th issue you'll find an article on abu ghraib

it states things we already know. things we won't admit though. (the WE in this part is king george and his administration and all else who ALLOW them to get away with crimes against humanity).
i've said it a MILLION times. when OUR prisoners are mistreated we call their jailers and torturers savages and much worse. when WE do it, we're patriots? no. WE'RE savages just like THEY are. it's NOT the 'little people' the army reservists that are guilty here (well yes but they are MINOR players). it's the BIG BOYZ. we must have justice. we must have truth. we must remain HUMAN BEINGS.
New Yorker: Abu Ghraib abuses were 'de facto US policy'
Nick Juliano
Photographer wanted to expose 'what the military was allowing to happen'
Some of the most iconic images of the Iraq war came not from photojournalists on the front lines, but US soldiers carrying point-and-shoot digital cameras. In its latest issue, the New Yorker profiles the woman who snapped many of the photos depicting abuse at Abu Ghraib prison that the same magazine revealed nearly four years ago.
Like many of the soldiers in charge of the detained Iraqis at Abu Ghraib, Sabrina Harman had little experience running a prison. As Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris report, she and others in her Army Reserve unit didn't stick out at the prison, "where almost nothing was run according to military doctrine."
The low-ranking reservist soldiers who took and appeared in the infamous images were singled out for opprobrium and punishment; they were represented, in government reports, in the press, and before courts-martial, as rogues who acted out of depravity. Yet the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib was de facto United States policy. The authorization of torture and the decriminalization of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of captives in wartime have been among the defining legacies of the current Administration; and the rules of interrogation that produced the abuses documented on the M.I. [Military Intelligence] block in the fall of 2003 were the direct expression of the hostility toward international law and military doctrine that was found in the White House, the Vice-President's office, and at the highest levels of the Justice and Defense Departments.............
