Army, CIA want torture truths exposed
WASHINGTON, May 18 (UPI) -- Efforts at the top level of the Bush administration and the civilian echelon of the Department of Defense to contain the Iraq prison torture scandal and limit the blame to a handful of enlisted soldiers and immediate senior officers have already failed: The scandal continues to metastasize by the day.

Even worse for Rumsfeld and his coterie of neo-conservative true believers who have run the Pentagon for the past 3½ years,
three major institutions in the Washington power structure have decided that after almost a full presidential term of being treated with contempt and abuse by them, it's payback time.Those three institutions are: The United States Army, the Central Intelligence Agency and the old, relatively moderate but highly experienced Republican leadership in the United States Senate.None of those groups is chopped liver: Taken together they comprise a devastating Grand Slam.

This is EXACTLY why Kerry can STAY positive and on HIS message. Kerry is doing the right thing by not viciously attacking Bush when he's got these institutions to do it for him.
