Operation FUBAR
Senators call for Jack D Ripper Rummy's head on a platter.
It has become the explosive turning point of the Iraq war, leading in all the wrong directions.
A scandal involving sadistic abuse and humiliation of prisoners by U.S. soldiers blew wide open Tuesday when the military acknowleged more than 20 cases of deaths and assaults are under investigation, not only in Iraq but Afghanistan, too.
Outraged U.S. politicians, who demanded to know how such rampant abuse could possibly have happened, worried even more cases will come to light.
And there's fear degrading, graphic pictures of Iraqi prisoners at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison that have infuriated the Arab world will embolden terrorists and lead to more bloodshed in the Middle East.
Senators demanded Rumsfeld appear on Capitol Hill before the armed services committee to answer some tough questions, including why he didn't receive an internal Pentagon report on abuse at Iraq's main prison that was completed in February or inform Congress of the magnitude of the problem.
"We need to have a hearing with (him) as soon as possible," said Republican Senator John McCain. "Congress should have been notified of this situation a long time ago."

Update: After staying up all last night trying to pronounce "abhorrent," the Chimp-in-Chief today performed interviews with Arab television to let them brown-skinned folks know that Amerkins love freedom, dammit.
"There will be investigations. People will be brought to justice," Bunnypants said. He stopped short of apologizing.
