A human rights group called the reports released Friday a whitewash that ignored countless documented accounts of detainee abuse. It's not a whitewash. The Pentagon isn't denying what's happened. They're just saying that it was wrong, but not in a criminal sense, or inidication of a systemic problem. Of course there were problem. We would up with a huge number of prisoners we weren't ready for, and had hundreds of thousands of troops with very little experience or training in detainee handling.
Our military has been focused on warfighting training against other major powers, not counterinsurgency. We showed up at Iraq very well prepared for the four weeks, and abysmally unready for the next four years. Our ability to handle and process detainees was just one of many skill areas we were woefully unprepared in.

They are always trying to use the "it is wrong but not illegal" argument on things they don't like. In CA, Salinas to be exact, a homeowner shot and killed a robber that had broken into his house(this was back about 1999). The local media tried to attribute the statement that "it was morally wrong but legal" to the county sheriff who investigated the matter. The sheriff ripped them a new one in another local paper and said it was right AND legal and they had better not forget it!
Dems, what idiots!

Not illegal.
That's the bottom line.

A human rights group called the reports released Friday a whitewash that ignored countless documented accounts of detainee abuse. Countless?? As in innumerable?
Documented?? As in proven?
Either our troops are very busy abusing everyone they can get their hands on, or these folks are engaging in a little hyperbole. It's no wonder that no one believes anything they say anymore.

Iraqi detainees = muslim-islamic-arab terrorists?
Sucks to be them. They should find a new line of work.
