Soldier's Family Set in Motion Chain of Events on Disclosure
By JAMES DAO and ERIC LICHTBLAU

Published: May 8, 2004


UMBERLAND, Md., May 7 — Ivan Frederick was distraught. His son, an Army reservist turned prison guard in Iraq, was under investigation earlier this year for mistreating prisoners, and photographs of the abuse were beginning to circulate among soldiers and military investigators.

And the plot thickens...

The irony, Mr. Lawson said, is that the public spectacle might have been avoided if the military and the federal government had been responsive to his claims that his nephew was simply following orders. Mr. Lawson said he sent letters to 17 members of Congress about the case earlier this year, with virtually no response, and that he ultimately contacted Mr. Hackworth's Web site out of frustration, leading him to cooperate with a consultant for "60 Minutes II."

Once we begin hearing about our troops being castrated and blinded by the enemy, these pictures will mean absoutely nothing to anyone with half an inkling of what is "fair treatment" of our prisoners of war. Rush is not prophetic - he just understands that war entails seemingly horrific acts that generally do not occur within the context of peaceful times by all parties engaged in the field of war.
