...unofficial motto was "No blood, no foul," one intelligence officer testified that "every harsh interrogation was approved by the [commander] and the Medical prior to its execution." Doctors, in other words, essentially signed off on torture in advance. And they often didn't inspect the victims afterward. At Abu Ghraib, according to the Army's surgeon general, only 15% of inmates were examined for injuries after interrogation...
...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.

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...
...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...
