...9/11, Iraq, and the Abuse of America's Intelligence Agencies I far more trust the press than I do the Administration with judgment of what should be secret and what shouldn't. How many scandals has the Administration uncovered on its own? It was the press that uncovered Abu Ghraib, the massacre at Haditha, the abuses at Guantánamo. I think the press has been very responsible in the past. When I was at ABC, we always checked with the Administration in power when we thought we had something of concern, and there was usually some way to work...
...education.At Harvard, Bakshi began to see arts as a medium for change rather than just a subject of analysis. A joint concentrator in social studies and visual and environmental studies, he has produced documentaries on topics ranging from drug abuse in Cambridge to the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. Now, Bakshi is headed home to Washington, D.C., where he is working for The Washington Post as well as for the D.C. School Board. But oceans away in India and in Zimbabwe, Aina continues its work. That, says Bakshi’s mentor, D.C. School Board President Peggy...
...Crimson faced vehement criticism for publishing the article, but to do otherwise would have been a disservice to journalism. Every story, however small, represents a potentiality.

An article in a small Beirut newspaper led to the Iran-Contra scandal. Closer to home, who could have guessed that an article about “intrinsic aptitudes” nearly...
...Warner, a former Marine and an ex-Navy Secretary, put Rumsfeld on notice that he expects the incident to "be addressed expeditiously" and that the Pentagon not drag its feet in airing the facts in the case as it did in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal. "Congress and the American people are entitled to a timely disclosure of the official findings," the Virginia Republican wrote pointedly in his letter. "Delays in getting out the official findings of fact due to a protracted review process will mean a mixture of information, misinformation and unconfirmed facts will continue to spiral...
...This isn?t the first time Warner has taken on Rumsfeld and the Pentagon. After he held hearings on prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, many Republicans privately chastised Warner. They complained that the hearings became a forum for Democrats to attack Rumsfeld, the President and the war. By contrast, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter largely ducked any public probe of the prison abuses. But the courtly Warner seems willing to anger his GOP colleagues once more and shine a public spotlight on another Pentagon scandal...
