Cambone: We are dismayed by what took place.
A number of issues arose last Friday that were not fully engaged. First wants to say will give info to the best of their knowledge. Don't have all the facts yet.
Application of Geneva Convention: US acknowledges it applies; if soldiers were not aware, Sanchez had reminded them.
Miller said procedures were according to GC.
We are investigating why some soldiers at Abu Ghraib did not observe them. Terrorists do not abide by GC (re uniforms). Bush ordered that detainees be treated humanely and consistent with GC. Decision did not undermine GC.

I wonder if that is true. I was just at my mechanics, they are all Korean or Korean Americans, one of them was is Specialist in GWI. All they could talk about was how the Democrats were exploiting this and what a jerk Kerry was for using is Veteran status for his own advantage. True, they are Koreans and thus hardly Leftists, but still it gave me hope. They were quite angry. I have never heard them discuss politics before, not in eight years.
If the GOP would just start swinging about this I think the whole thing would seriously backfire. It would require them to name names and take the media to task. Doubt if they do it but now would be the perfect time. The reelection is in the balance and is the WOT. I do not know why the GOP leadership on the Hill does not see that a wimpy response will cost them the Senate. United we stand and all of that...

NBC is only network channel showing it in my area too. I thought Taguba's face took on a significant grim look when Levin was spewing.

(So Hillary, how DID you know about the descriptions of the abuse before Rumsfeld did? Hmmmmmmmmm??)
To: Mo1
Why isn't the media louding requesting Col. Hackworth publish that list of 17 Senators who got letters about the abuse as early as January 2004?
Why isn't the media showing outrage at those 17 for not acting, not doing anything back in January? Could it be because some of the released names include Senators Reed (D), HClinton (D), JRockerfeller (D), Byrd (D)? [Those, of course, are rhetorical questions because WE know the answers.]

Does anyone know the party affiliation of Gen Taguba? He's probably a rat.
To: maryz
Cambone: Miller laid out a series of recommendations to Gen. Sanchez. Would set conditions for interrogation. Underscored need for MP and MI to act so that one did not undermine the efforts of the other. Underscored the need for legal review of recommendations. Miller noted "safe, humane environment." Recommended MP under 205th MI brigade. Sanchez did so. Gave a senior officer responsibility. Did not give MI authority over MP operations.

One development. Sec'y now preparing personal message to armed forces, expressing dismay, but confidence in the troops.
Values of democracy. Part of mission is to be sure wrongdoing is not covered up.
