More than I wanted to know
The New Yorker has an article that implies the culpability for the torture of Iraqi prisoners of war goes fairly high up the chain of command.
Of course it does. You don't take brag about stuff like that unless you have reason to think the people you're bragging to will approve.
It's like when Abner Louima was assulted by ex-NYC police office Justin Volpe in the stationhouse. Afterward he ran around the stationhouse with the stick he used to commit the crime bragging to other officers. That only one officer testified against him for that it more an indictment of the atmosphere than the vindication of the police department it was claimed to be.
The article was mentioned in an earlier post, so I thought I'd link it. Barring the extraordinary, I think I'm done with the topic.
