Ft. Huachuca commander says Army interrogators taught to never abuse priso

FORT HUACHUCA - The commander of the post that houses the nation's training ground for Army interrogators said Wednesday that the abuse of Iraqis at the Abu Ghraib prison deviates from the central lessons taught here.

The training emphasizes legal questioning and no torture or abuse is allowed, said Maj. Gen. James A. Marks, commander of Fort Huachuca, about 55 miles southeast of Tucson. The post houses the Army's Intelligence Center.

"That's a bunch of rogue soldiers conducting evil acts," Marks said, referring to those responsible for the abuse.

He said the abuse isn't representative of military interrogators, who are restricted in what they can do.

For example, interrogators can disrupt a prisoner's sleep cycle but can't deprive them of sleep. The prisoner can fear the interrogator, but interrogators aren't allowed to use force, Marks said.

Does the spin machine understand...it's not what was taught, it is what was allowed and what happened that Abu Ghraib that is the issue.

Rouge junta in Washington D.C. making policy where evil acts will be guaranteed is the problem.

The protests are a bit hollow, much like the rabid preachers against abortions and the owners of websites showing pictures of health care providers as 'Wanted' posters (along with their home addresses) sniveling that they are not responsible when some follower takes one of the doctors out... "Oh, we DEPLORE violence. We never intended for anyone to get hurt."

None of it would happen but for the lying and manipulation to invade a nation with absolutely no reason.

The evil is not that part of any population which will abuse others given the climate of acceptance and opportunity. The evil is the bastards at the top that set it up to happen.
