After Abu Ghraib
What will happen five years from now, when the national government of Shiite Southern Iraq, led either by an Ayatollah or someone Ayatollah-approved, holds the hearings of its Truth Commission? What will happen when they are televised live by Al Jazeerah?
This narrative is not over. This horrifying chronicle comes from the Guardian..
Sy Hersh stated last week that the pictures and articles published thus far on prisoner abuse are only the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, because the Bush Administration did not follow John McCain's advice and release all the reports of abuse immediately, stories like this will trickle out over the next few years, enflaming unemployed young men's passions, and endangering our troops anew with every revelation.
