Intelligence soldiers and civilian contractors at Abu Ghraib are implicated, but military brass outside the prison are not, officials say.

The story nobody outside the liberal press cares about...(If the press yells scandal and no one listens do they really make a sound?)

Time for another 48-day NYT expose on the sex lives, practices, and feelings of the evil 12 others. We'll be knowing what time they went to the bathroom after throwing pantyhose on a poor prisoner's head by the time the Slimes is done with their new batch of "investigative" journalism.

Who needs to review Kerry's record when you can have a pantyhose scandal to write about instead.

"will not suggest wrongdoing by military brass outside the prison"

I knew it all along--President Bush must be impeached for allowing this to occur without the military brass being informed.

President Bush must be impeached

The commiecRATs claim W wasn't elected. Can a selected President be impeached?

Maybe late in W's 2nd term the republicans should accept
the 2000 "selected not elected" claim of the commiecRATs.
Since then all would agree he hadn't been elected the 1st time, W would qualify under Amendment XXII to be elected for his real 2nd term in 2007.

That is what I always say. If they want to believe so badly he wasn't elected, I'll give them the issue on condition we have G.W. eleible for two more terms. LOL

I'd love to see a Republican issue this challenge in response. It would stop them cold.
