Of the actual participants in events, there is a heavy reliance on well-known Rumsfeld-Cheney adversaries such Richard Clarke, Richard Armitage, with no mention of the fact that they, and virtually everyone in this depiction of recent history, have axes to grind and their own sullied legacies to patch up. Few people actually close or aligned with Rumsfeld or Cheney appear to have been interviewed. Possibly because they knew how this was going to end up. ...
...Frontline takes a diversion into Guantanamo, where you will learn that the Cheney-Rumsfeld junta threw out the Geneva Conventions and authorized military tribunals, the turning on of lights, removal of religious materials, and other atrocities. I must have missed the part where they discussed the fact that the hated Crusader Gulag at Guantanamo does not actually violate the Geneva Conventions and that the people held there are unlawful combatants. Horror is expressed at what Gitmo might inspire our adversaries to do to our own soldiers. I must have missed the part where Frontline discusses what al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein, the Iranian regime and others actually have done to the civilians and soldiers they have seized. --------- "Frontline's 'Bush's War': Not About Bush or His War (PBS documentary)," Pajamas Media ^ | March 24, 2008 | Jules Crittenden
Speaking of Abu Ghraib:
* ARMITAGE & CACI : He is also a former board member for CACI International, the private military contractor, which "is being investigated by no less than 5 US agencies for possible contract violations" and "employed four interrogators at Abu Ghraib prison" in Iraq, one of whom was singled out by General Taguba in his report on abuses of Iraqi detainees at the prison.[3] (http://counterpunch.org/palmer06152004.html) ------------From Sourcewatch.org , http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Richard_Armitage
Of course, beware the source on the latter as it is from The Nation writer Alexander Cockburn’s “Counterpunch,” the same bunch that spawned VIPS, which like Armitage was involved in the Plame leak flapathon.
