Bush as guilty as abusive soldiers
'The electrodes' switch is in Washington'
"...there are no longer torture chambers or rape rooms or mass graves in Iraq."
George W. Bush's words appeared on page A7 of Saturday's Washington Post.
On the front page, a photo featured a hooded Iraqi prisoner balancing himself on a box after his American jailers told he would be electrocuted if he fell. On the jump page, A16, two soldiers gloated while standing over a group of Iraqi prisoners forced to pile naked on one another.
"I shared a deep disgust that those prisoners were treated the way they were treated. Their treatment does not reflect the nature of the American people." So says George of this new scandal.
You know what this means: We have caught Bush in still another lie. .... One way or the other, he is just as guilty as the soldiers who abused the inmates.
No way can Bush dismiss this incident as one that fell through the cracks. Under Bush, the cracks in the system have been awfully wide and numerous. At best, the degradation of these Iraqis fits a pattern of sloppy management of the war in Iraq.
