'Gooks' to 'Hajis'

Edited on Fri May-21-04 11:47 PM by umtalal

The saddest editorial by Bob Herbert, from the New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/21/opinion/21HERB.html

The hapless Jeremy Sivits got the headlines yesterday. A mechanic whose job was to service gasoline-powered generators, Specialist Sivits was sentenced to a year in prison and thrown out of the Army for accepting an invitation to take part in the sadistic treatment of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison.

But there's another soldier in serious trouble to whom we should be paying even closer attention. His case doesn't just call into question the treatment of prisoners by U.S. forces. It calls into question this entire abominable war.
