Friday, July 29, 2005 Use of Torture & Abu Ghraib Pix Heating Up NY Times: Among the objections to the Bush administration "torture memos" were "vigorous" warnings from military lawyers. AND from Wash Post: The WH and Pentagon have gotten away with their stonewalling of the Abu Ghraib issue largely because of GOP control of Congress. Attempts by the WH to block or gut the legislation failed, and on Tuesday as the GOP leadership pulled the defense bill from the floor rather than allow a vote. The nation would be better served if Bush instead accepted, at last, the truth about Abu Ghraib. OUCH. |
