#2 While methods employed at Abu Ghraib -- including hooding, nudity and placing prisoners in stress positions -- have been characterized by senior defense officials as rogue, abusive horseplay on the night shift,

They have been charaterized as criminal activity, resulting in mutliple convictions before courts martials. However, I can charaterize such reporting as slanted, bias, dishonest done by a sophist looking for his 10 minutes of fame.

#3 While methods employed at Abu Ghraib -- including hooding, nudity and placing prisoners in stress positions -- have been characterized by senior defense officials as rogue, abusive horseplay on the night shift, some of them had been authorized for experienced interrogators at Guantanamo Bay.

Note the sloppy combination of approved and not approved practices here, in an obvious attempt to make it sound like the abuses were accepted practice.

Maj. Matthew Miller, a prosecutor in this week's preliminary hearing, said yesterday in a closing statement that there is "copious evidence" that Cardona and Smith abused detainees beyond the scope of their duties. ...

In other words, they did what they weren't supposed to.

The use of military dogs to exploit fear in detainees was approved by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld for use on a specific important detainee in Cuba in late 2002 and early 2003.

In other words, there's still no way to tie Gitmo to Rumsfeld without ignoring what Rumsfeld actually said and did.

Clumsy propaganda, Mikey. WaPo is about as bad on this as Jihad Unspun.

#5 I stopped reading about this shit reporting. The reporters at WaPo, NY Slimes, etc. have an S&M fetish. And they advocate a shield law to protect them? We need a shield law to protect us from these fucking Abu Grhraib redux stories.

And the timing is about right, since McCain and Lindsey Graham have sold out the President's authority to wage war, including setting the terms of confining thug terrorists.
