OK, now please tell me if I have this correct. These incidences happened in Oct-Dec 2003. In January the military got the report by military staff and started the investigation in Iraq. This information was given at that time to the media in Iraq at a presser. (Is that correct?)

The Pentagon wasn't sent the pictures until March 13. CBS already had them and it was at that point that Meyers asked them to delay releasing them.

Do I have this time line straight? Thanks

No, she is pregnant by the other grinning dude in the pictures. Who is married, I think.

JAIL COMMANDER WROTE OF HER DISTRESS
Friday, May 07, 2004

BY JOHN HASSELL
Star-Ledger Staff

As her command of American prisons in Iraq was shaken by reports of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski wrote to a Presbyterian minister in Rahway: "Several of my soldiers are clearly guilty and will be punished. Their acts were deplorable." But, she said, "some things are simply out of my control."

Karpinski, a Rahway native whose management and oversight of the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad have been criticized by Army investigators, kept up a regular e-mail exchange with the Rev. Howard Bryant throughout her deployment in Iraq, describing the problems and frustrations she faced.

It is a honest point, but I understand your ire.

There are only millions of vets, so dont't take it too seriously.

Rummy just said they did 18,000 investigations this year. 3,000+ courts martials. That is a lot of bad vets.

Pregnant by one of the prisoners?
Are you kidding or just thinking aloud?
Trophy/souvenier --- ticket out -- or raped?
Maybe sex for oil?

When another young woman joined the conversation to state that "we need to get them out of Iraq" I told my sister I was ready to leave and walked out the door. Yes, there are intelligence impaired individuals who will vote Dim, even after all of this.

I just went to my favorite recipe site, hoping to relax a little and pick up a good recipe or two, but found myself on their message board replying to someone who said that this prisoner abuse scandal makes us as bad as Saddam. I reminded her of some of the horrible things that Saddam did and that he never apologized nor would he ever have done anything to remedy the abuse he dished out.

Another person commented that something has to be done because we're no longer respected by other nations.

I could not continue to read the thread because I have had it with these damned leftists and I was about to lose my temper.

"Rep. Jim Runyn (R-KS) up now. Asking if we should tear down Abu Ghrib prison."

Someone should ask him if in light of this disgraceful display of Congressional foolishness if the same pointless, symbolic question might not apply to other structures.

They haven't asked that question. They've asked when they saw the pictures. I notice that no one has asked who leaked the pictures. I'm waiting (crickets chirping) for the reporter/producers brought in and "politely asked" who leaked this information.

Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) up now.

I love our military,
past and present;
especially Vietnam Vets,
with one exclusion: Kerry.

When I can get Tom DeLay's
word for word quote from yesterday,
I am going to change my tagline.
He said sometihing like:
"Democrats would rather win the White House, than the war."
