General who probed Abu Ghraib says Bush officials committed war crimes
Will the Dems do anything?
MCC-The Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison accused the Bush administration Wednesday of committing “war crimes” and called for those responsible to be held to account.
The remarks by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, who’s now retired, came in a new report that found that U.S. personnel tortured and abused detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, using beatings, electrical shocks, sexual humiliation and other cruel practices.
“After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes,” Taguba wrote. “The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.”
Taguba, whose 2004 investigation documented chilling abuses at Abu Ghraib, is thought to be the most senior official to have accused the administration of war crimes. “The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture,” he wrote.
Good idea John, let’s find some Americans to punish…everybody knows that’s where we’ll find some real terrorists.
Sometimes you go to far John…this is one of them.

Are you calling Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba,a liar?
Why not Gen. Sancez? He was the head cheese at the time of Abu Gharaib.
This POS saw McClellan picking up some quick change, so he jumped on the bash Bush bandwagon…dirtbag would be a better term of description.
bb, they are all dirt bags aren’t they?

You would almost have to admit that the torture has had a detrimental effect on our efforts in Iraq. My question is, with the controlled media that we have, and Americans not seeing the whole truth about Iraq, and with the internet, why in God’s name would they allow cameras into the places where they commit torture unless there weren’t other motives behind this? I hope you realize the rest of the world knows about the gory details of what goes on in these places.
