1. OK, time for him to appeal

and for the truth to come out.

I am not excusing what he did, but I do not believe he should take the flack for what was really a failure of leadership (at best), or a purposefully and Rumsfailed-sanctioned plan to get the Iraqis talking (at worst).

2. bush has destroyed the lives of

these military people who are being court martialed and sent to prison. Yes - what they did was very,very wrong but someone needs to pound away that this was bush's decision - after all he keeps saying he's the Commander in Chief. bush is responsible for the torture of the prisoners and he is responsible for the destroyed lives in the military.
