On Abu Ghraib, the Big Shots Walk!!

When soldiers in war are not properly trained and supervised, atrocities are all but inevitable. This is one reason why the military command structure is so important. There was a time, not so long ago, when commanders were expected to be accountable for the behavior of their subordinates.

That's changed. Under Commander in Chief George W. Bush, the notion of command accountability has been discarded. In Mr. Bush's world of war, it's the grunts who take the heat. Punishment is reserved for the people at the bottom. The people who foul up at the top are promoted.

4. We need a Col Jessup to take responsibility
We know the truth, so not being able to handle it is not an issue here.

6. But Kerry, Dean, Hillary, Obama, etc are all shouting it from the hilltops
Are we still counting on the Republican owned media to spread DEM talkingpoints for us?

You may want to ask why the top DEMs are not being more vocal about your concerns.
