Looks like they're going to keep higher up names out of torture story
CNN reporting that Sivits statement is that no higher ups had any knowledge of the torture and abuse in the prisons. This story just continues to get more disgusting

2. the bipartisan cover up begins?
The Democrats better not let that happen. Lindsay Graham and a few other Republicans were very clear about the seriousness of the actions depicted in those photos.

okay everybody move along. . .oh but wait. . .eoooooow. . .go look at the barbarous decapitation one more time . . .there now don't you feel more righteous. . .?

This whole scenario couldn't be more sickening.

Winning the hearts and minds we truly aren't.

An honest and swift death is far better than a sexual humiliation and violation that will make one be disgusted with oneself for the rest of their lives.

I can't believe the defensive claim that "see they're more barbarous than we are. . ." argument when the rest of the world has seen the repercussions of our devastation. By keeping secret the effects and casualties of our sophisticated "smart bombs", daisy cutters, and cluster bombs, to us the war is somehow "sanitized".

All war is barbarism, whether it's hands on (ugh) or by remote control.

We must deal with this honestly or we'll only be even more screwed than we already are.

4. yeah, it's not like they're going to admit to anything
considering the consequences.
That's why it has to be pulled out of them.
