I had distinctly heard British soldiers complaining about US soldiers' 'bull in a China closet' shotgun approach, early on in the occupation. Then, things started to go bad for the Brits, too, down in Basra.
Anyway, I'll need more evidence to come to a conclusion, but things are not looking good, either in reality, or certainly PR-wise. Tom Daschle must be happy.

Ok so many were "mistakenly" arrested. How many were subject to what the pictures depict? I am seeing a pattern here, which is to blur the story line. Rumsfeld stated in the hearings that 48,000 people were detained in that prison from the start of the occupation and that 39,000 had been released to date. Numbers are from memory. From what I can see in the pictures and from the report, less than 50 were subject to the abuse and it was confined top one area of the prison set aside for EPWs and involved one shift of MPs.

Tom Daschle is very happy on the inside-feigning great sadness on the outside.
