Terrorist, Hersh, does it again
First: Welcome back to Mr. Hamill.
Now, about Abu Ghraib.
I gotta say, at the very least, circumstantial evidence points to this being more than a few yahoo's going outside the lines. The Bozo's had to make further photographic evidence so the probability is that the "system' will cut them loose to swing on their own. One idiot's, admittedly self-serving, observation that they wouldn't have the knowledge of specific cultural anthropology to make some of these things work does have the ring of truth to it.
