Help me here! Taguba does a report, requisitioned by Sanchez and Sanchez
Edited on Thu May-20-04 05:18 PM by KoKo01
Seems to deny that the abuses Taguba Reports are abuses he "signed off on"

Here's links: :shrug: Something doesn't add up, here...but I don't know what? I'm NOW getting the impression that Taguba released his report because Sanchez didn't act on it. Whereas before I believed Sanchez was the "good guy" for putting Taguba in charge! :shrug: Sanchez didn't seem to hold up in the hearings as well as I thought he would so, I'm thinking "TAGUBA LEAKED!" Frustrated at having no action???

1. Rules like that usually come down from
higher up, not up from lower down. Rules aren't changed at the bottom level of authority.

4. And For This....
...General Taguba was reassigned to a position in the Pentagon, something to do with Reserve Personnel.

See what happens when you tell the truth!

Now when you lie like Moe, Larry, and Curly did you get rewarded. So the 3 Stooges get to go back to Iraq and this time they will keep the
interrogations limited to a select few, just like they do in GITMO.

In my opinion it's not over, it will just be controlled more then it was.

6. I hear what you say...but wonder if Sanchez is a Powell figure...
so "compliant" to Bush/Cheney/Rummy, but he just happened by "accident to pick Taguba who told the truth? Did Sanchez want Taguba to "blow the whistle?"

Or, is Sanchez just another "hand picked toady of the Bush/PNAC crowd.

That's what I'm trying to get at. Who and what, and where is Sanchez coming from here...aside from "covering his butt" is there an honest conscience lurking inside his "military bod?"

:shrug: If so, he could be a great witness for "War Crimes Tribunal!"

5. 2 of the leaders of MP unit back at work in Iraq..Tagubu calls for dismiss
By Adam Tanner

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The two leaders of a U.S. military police unit whose members were accused of abusing Iraqi prisoners have been restored to their command despite a report calling for their dismissal, a National Guard colleague said on Thursday.



A now widely publicized military report into the Abu Ghraib scandal recommended that Capt. Donald Reese and First Sgt. Brian Lipinski be relieved of their commands for failing to supervise their soldiers properly.


Yet First Sgt. Paul George, Lipinski's counterpart with a different unit that also served at Abu Ghraib prison, said he had received an e-mail from Lipinski saying both men were back in charge of their 372nd Military Policy Company in Iraq (news - web sites).


"He and the commander have been put back in command of their unit," George told Reuters after being in contact with Lipinski by e-mail.


"He told me that he was put back with his unit and that the commander was as well and them staying there in Iraq had nothing to do with any punishment. His whole unit got extended."

7. I got "page not found" when I clicked on your link, but from what
you say, I think something's very odd here. Bush over-riding Sanchez? Sanchez pleasing Bush? :shrug:
