#1 And the point of all the boldface is, what, exactly?

#2 "I donât know the name because they often donât wear uniforms, and if they do they donât have name tapes," Davis said. ..

Hint:

1) Not wearing uniforms is your first clue you probably shouldn't be following their orders.

2) You proably shouldn't be following directives of people not in your chain of command.

#4 Read the boldface and look for a pattern.

#6 Mike, you really should start cross referencing news coverage of this story to the Taguba report.

Darby was the whistleblower; he handed the CDs full of photos over to the MPs.

Davis, on the other hand, is facing charges. Like all the other defendants except Sivits, he's playing the Nuremberg defense. The claims he makes to the press are suspect at best.

I'm not saying the MI staff wasn't involved; I just think you're reading way too much into the flailing of a man caught red-handed.

#7 You might be more right about that, Robert, than I have been. We'll see. I have been watching the Senate hearings, on C-span, of the military commanders and theater JAG. I was very positively impressed by all the participants. I feel confident that the truth will be established and that there will be no whitewash of the interrogators, if they were culpable.
