Blaming the US media for running real pictures isn't helpful.

Blaming the UK media for running fake pictures is legit.

Blaming Arab media for running fake pictures is legit also.

The real photos and the media's hype of the photos that were "too shocking to show" opened the door for fakes that were more explicit.

The East didn't watch SeeBS, they read their local press.

I disagee. The pictures were run to provoke an overwhelming response to the actions of a few, to the detriment of these soldiers, their families and the military in the field.

In the end, I believe it is Kapinski which lead to the communication breakdown between officers and soldiers.

Are you telling me that she did instruct these people "in a military fashion" as to their duties and responsibilities at the prison at some point in time?

Are you telling me that the Red Cross reports were not discussed with her and any necessary action taken?

Are you telling me that her policy of "visiting each prison at least once in a three month period" is acceptable.

Are you telling me she had no authority? She says it was CIA territory so what she is telling me is that if she sees, or gets wind of something outside her box, she simply says "Not my box" and looks the other way?
