If indeed the story is true, it directly shows the individuals responsible are being investigated and will be prosecuted. The New York Times has to show sense and restraint to not pour petrol on the fires of Islamic terrorism.

Actually, if the report is true it sounds like the person in charge of the torture tactics was then transferred to Abu Gharib and brought the same tactics there... This would be after the Red Cross had already complained and people had already died.

Even though military investigators learned soon after Mr. Dilawar's death that he had been abused by at least two interrogators, the Army's criminal inquiry moved slowly. Meanwhile, many of the Bagram interrogators, led by the same operations officer, Capt. Carolyn A. Wood, were redeployed to Iraq and in July 2003 took charge of interrogations at the Abu Ghraib prison. According to a high-level Army inquiry last year, Captain Wood applied techniques there that were "remarkably similar" to those used at Bagram.
