This link provides evidence that General Sanchez may have lied to Congress about whether he authorized terrorizing prisoners (most of whom, recall, were ultimately released without being charged) with guard dogs.

I agree with you, GSR...but you did not go far enough! We should get Sanchez' boss. Bury that SOB. Then get the guy who sent him there ( and we know who that is ) and finally let's get his boss. Yes, that's right ! the American people...let's get those bastards! ...really, why stop w/Sanchez?.

I remember from my Navy days that the Captain, on or off duty, asleep or awake, on the bridge or off, is ultimately responsible for everything that occurs on board. It's a tough standard but one which has served the Navy well for 200+ years. Although removed from the day to day activities in the prison, Sanchez and his leadership team must bear some responsibility - that's part of being a General and having Command. Your troops perform well and you're a hero. Your troops "F" up and your a goat and held responsible. It comes with the job and rank.
By no means is this the end. Certainly Congress will jump on this, which is too bad - the Army should have taken care of this on their own.

This whole Abu Ghraib thing makes me sick. I just can't understand why we have those amoung us here in the USA that have any sorrow or pity for those who have no morals or sense of deciency in their bodies, They certainly have no souls. For us to even consider that humilliating a few of those who should have been shot as torture is just plain assinine. Those terrorist wouldn't think a second thought of decapitating a prisioner they had. This whole fiasco is and has been a bunch of dogooders, liberals and assholes trying to make political hay. When are we in America going to get smart and learn that a street fight cannot be won using goody tooshoes rules. The only answer for the terrorist problem is to kill them "on the spot", then go on and kill more of them. That is the only thing terrorists understand and respect.

It's sad that BG Skeletore has managed to evade any type of responsibility despite being in command - amazing what a one person PR campaign can do in our society. I mean she was the commander and all...
