#2 Fay said that when he asked Jordan if he had seen prisoners stripped naked, Jordan told him he had, but that the nudity had nothing to do with interrogations.

Naked prisoners. Never happens in federal or state prisons or local lockups I'm sure. Nope, never. No one ain't seen a single naked prisoners in any of them fancy civilian confinement facilities. Never need to do a full body examination for any reason. Cause them are just regular fellows you know. That's how they ended up in the joint in the first place. Just being one of the boys. Heh.

#3 ``It was a confusing situation,'' Fay said. ......~~but we're out to boink somebody real good (me and Tony) and I'm enjoying this active duty as a two star and making twice as much as I did with the Chubb Group~~.

#4 I was thinking that things in Iraq must be going well as there have been The Lancet Lie and now yet more Abu Graib.

#5 Well, now that it's been handed over to the Iraqis, I'm sure it's a model of human rights and tough-but-kind justice.

#6 "Jordan, is charged with 12 offenses, including one count of cruelty and maltreatment for allegedly subjecting detainees to forced nudity and intimidation by dogs."

-big deal. Give him a medal I say. We were not exactly housing recipients of the father of the year award or saviours of orphaned baby ducks.

#7 Abu Ghraib hurt the country and the war effort. It was a PR disaster. Every one involved was derelict in their duty.

Easy to say when you weren't there, I agree. But if Lynndie England, at the bottom of the food chain deserves 3 years for it, this guy deserves 7. He was supposed to be the adult supervision. He didn't have to like the orders. He didn't even have to agree with them. He just had to follow them and he didn't. Action meet consequences.

#9 The highest-ranking officer charged with crimes at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq allowed detainee abuses and then lied about it.

Does this mean that female General was not charged? Or is this incorrect.
