[Jon8503]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Up to 28 U.S. soldiers face possible criminal charges in connection with the deaths of two prisoners at an American-run prison in Afghanistan two years ago, the Army announced Thursday.

The most serious potential charges include involuntary manslaughter and maiming, the Army said in a statement.

Its announcement marked completion of a nearly 2-year-old investigation into the deaths. The Army's Criminal Investigation Division recommends various charges against the 28, with some facing more serious charges than others.

1. and still no rank involved - they are hanging out all the

young and mid enlisted folk to dry. That is simply not how it is done in the military. Sr leadership takes responsibility for what happens down the line. Now Bush* has fucked that up, too.

2. But Bush said it was only "a few bad apples."

You seem to be implying that prison abuse is a systematic problem which George W. Bush has responsiblity for.
