a few bad apples
Attorneys for several soldiers charged with abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib will be allowed to call the accuseds' commanding officers as witnesses, the New York Times reports. And Reuters is reporting today that the soldiers' lawyers will also try to get Dear Leader and Zen Master Donald Rumsfeld to testify as well.

By the way, the trials should start early this fall, NPR reported this morning.

And Seymour Hersh says of the prison torture scandal, "You haven't begun to see evil..." Because of Bush et al's assiduous efforts to keep information about Abu Ghraib from the public, we can expect a slow, steady trickle of increasingly more awful revelations--with the truly horrible stuff coming out probably this September and October.

Have a happy election season, you arrogant pricks.
