Agreed, but when was the last time the Media acted responsibly?

Your proof is the female General in charge of the prison was relieved of her command.

His lawyer, Gary Myers, told the Guardian that Sgt Frederick had not had the opportunity to read the Geneva Conventions before being put on guard duty, a task he was not trained to perform.

What weasel wording! This guy was a low life and if he could walk and chew gum he should have known better.

I would like to see proof that these are American soldiers, and that those are Iraqi prisoners.

Are we certain this took place in Iraq? For all we know the photo was shot in San Francisco and the prisoners were volunteers.

Goodness just doesn't happen. It takes work.

This kind of thing can happen when leadership breaks down.

American self criticality is our strength, despite the media.

Discipline the perps. Train others up. Move forward.

Ever onward the good!
