I grabbed this from the transcript from Hardball last night with N. GEORGE ALLEN ®, VIRGINIA notice the bold!
MATTHEWS: Why do you say—how do you know it is an isolated situation?
ALLEN: Because, if you look at what the command and the requirements are, it seems to me that if there are any of these things going on, they are an aberration.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Senator, do you believe that individual people from Virginia, from Maryland who have been accused here, bought dog collars, bought leashes, bought hoods and brought them over to Iraq with them, or do you think they were issued by the military intelligence people over there? Who is responsible for this whole line of questioning with these people the way they have been stripped and shackled?
Are you saying a couple country folk from Virginia and Western Maryland came up with these ideas and these implements of torture?
ALLEN: I think that that all is being investigated, who is culpable.
MATTHEWS: But does common sense tell you that they brought the dog collars and the leashes with them?
ALLEN: It wouldn‘t make common sense to me, no. I don‘t know where they got them. I suppose they have stores there.
But the point of the matter is, we are in a war against terrorism.
So they went to the store and bought all of the torture items????? My husband and I laughed for along time at that stupid remark!
