| Is the British Government open to investigating how far up the military chain the abuse/orders to abuse went? Here it's been a complete whitewash with the seven soldiers being the scapegoats. Now they have received and will receive punishment (richly deserved BTW) but there's no way they acted on their own. How is the British Government looking at the Geneva Rules of Convention?I think our new Attorney General thinks it's only torture if it kills or causes a major body organ to fail. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| I think the same thing will happen in the UK. The soldiers will get punished(as they should be) but the 'top dogs' who ordered them to do it will get off scott free. | |||

| Blair knows he's got a tough election to fight. His own Chancellor is getting support for a leadership takeover (a prominant union leader has come out for him, significant when you remember that Labour gets a lot of support from the unions) and Blair is facing a barrage of attacks from so many groups in this country its not funny. I think he's going to have to make this a proper investigation - if he doesn't, he's going to face an even tougher battle at the election. | |||

| Well there actually was a report that came out in August that did say the problem or responsiblity went high into the DOD. Believe it or not it was the committee that was put together by the DOD that came to that conclusion. It didn't get that much publicity because it happened during the Olympics and the election. As far as we know no one in any level at the DOD has been held accountable for Abu Ghraib. Also I don't believe any charges have been filed against those outsourcing companies that provided some of the interrogators either. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||
