Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry saw for himself on Thursday the images of violence and sexual humiliation at a U.S.-run prison in Iraq and blamed "grievous" errors by the Bush administration and lax oversight up and down the chain of command for the scandal.

With that, his most stinging assessment yet of the Republican administration, Kerry made clear he would not back down in the face of charges by President Bush's campaign that he was politicizing the war and prison abuses.

This administration has made a grievous error in the laxity of command control," Kerry told the Fox News Channel in an interview. "And I am convinced this didn't happen just because six or seven people decided to make it happen in a prison. It happened as a matter of what was going on in terms of interrogation and the laxity of command up and down."

Kerry blamed Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for first casting doubt on the protections afforded prisoners by denying detainees from Afghanistan formal standing under the Geneva Conventions.

****
GO Kerry!

:eyes: The hipocracy is astounding!

Wait. I know. Kerry is personally responsible for every death because he "voted" for the war. With friends like these, do we need enemies?
