Let me get this straight:
after more than 750 of our soldiers have been killed in a war that was supposed to be a cakewalk;
after the fighting in Iraq has dragged on for an extra year -- with no end in sight;
after invading a country -- without a plan for the occupation;
after turning marines and soldiers into cops and occupiers -- without giving them the equipment they need to do the job safely;
after relying on half-trained reservists and mercenaries to guard prisoners of war -- only to have hearts grow black and the lowest form of sadism and torture emerge;
now -- only now -- is President Bush reprimanding Defense Secretary Rumsfeld?
THERE'S MORE: New photos from the Abu Ghraib torture chambers have emerged. They are not for the faint of heart. And we should expect to see more, Sy Hersh says (via TPM).
AND MORE: Wanna job softening up Iraqi prisoners for interrogation? Maybe with a little moonlighting in torture? Then CACI, the private military contractor whose employees are at the center of the Abu Ghraib scandal, is looking for you:
Interrogator/Intel Analyst Team Lead Asst. Baghdad, Iraq... Assists the interrogation support program team lead to increase the effectiveness of dealing with Detainees, Persons of Interest, and Prisoners of War (POWs) that are in the custody of US/Coalition Forces in the CJTF 7 AOR, in terms of screening, interrogation, and debriefing of persons of intelligence value. Under minimal supervision, will assist the team lead in managing a multifaceted interrogation support cell consisting of database entry/intelligence research clerks, screeners, tactical/strategic interrogators, and intelligence analyst.
