How does this absolve the military of responsibility? Shouldn't they know exactly what the guards are doing? And why is there a photo of the interrogaters watching the pyramid of naked Iraqis, and yet, they say they didn't know what was going on? Those photos were staged photos. They weren't "candid camera." Who wanted them staged?

That guy was MI? I have never seen that pointed out in any news stories I have seen. Please tell me where is your source on this?
How do you know that they were interrogators? I watched the Cal Thomas interview last night on Fox with Florida democrat Senator Bill Nelson. Nelson said that one of the photos provided for the Senators special viewing there were soldiers that had been cropped out on the photo that has been widely shown. The widely shown photos most likely came from those who want to shift blame away from the MPs. Nelson in typical democrat fashion wants the world to believe that President Bush is responsible for the “torture” of the prisoners and concludes that these cropped out soldiers warranted further investigation into involvement of higher ups. Frankly I was disappointed that Thomas did not ask him who he thought those cropped out soldiers might be but for some reason he let the matter drop. Other Senators have said that the same faces keep appearing in the Senate photos inferring that the MPs are the only ones involved. And now you have the admissions of MPs that they were only ones involved.
It seems to me that England is looking at jail time and lying to the military about being ordered by higher ups certainly will not be very helpful, to say the least.
Well, those of us actually following the facts of this story know that the supervisors and brigade commander are in fact being held to account for their negligence.
That still does not make these perverts on parade as acting according to policy. They were not.
Who said that anything in this article absolved military authorities? The chain of command that allowed this to happen are still responsible.
The point of this article is contradicting the exploiters, like Sen. Levin, Sen. Kennedy, etc. that this was 'systematically directed'.
I am not sure why you think these are staged photos.
