Hiding a bad guy named triple X
How the military treated some inmates at Abu Ghraib like 'ghosts'
By Edward T. Pound
The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, issued a classified order last November directing military guards to hide a prisoner, later dubbed "Triple X" by soldiers, from Red Cross inspectors and keep his name off official rosters. The disclosure, by military sources, is the first indication that Sanchez was directly involved in efforts to hide prisoners from the Red Cross, a practice that was sharply criticized by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba in a report describing abuses of detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad.
Sanchez had the man from Gitmo come take over things. That commander answered to Rumsfeld.Sy hersh's articles implicate child torture in front of parents as well and gang rapes of women.
Taguba's father was in the Bataan death march. Hersh is a former Marine.
Tenet resigned citing "concerns for his son". I take it he resigned because no father could condone these actions upon children, this crossed new lines only known of previously in Nazi germany and perhaps central America during the Contras raping of Nuns and killing of priests...
