This is not really a response to Ray, it's just that he and AC have been involved in a liaison amoureuse on the subject, so it's just a follow-on to what they initiated. This is incredible. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is presumably a competent and intelligent individual, so you would think that, unless he were derelict in his responsibilities, he would inform himself about an issue that is of major importance to his country's standing in the Arab world. But noooo: At first, General Myers insisted that the instances of mistreatment were not widespread and were the actions of "just a handful" of soldiers who had unfairly tainted all American forces in Iraq. But when pressed, he acknowledged that he had not yet read a classified, 53-page Army report completed in February by Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, first reported in the May 10 issue of The New Yorker, that chronicled the worst of the abuses at Abu Ghraib. General Myers left open the possibility the abuses could be broader, saying, "We don't know that yet." Goddammit, he's paid to know that. EDIT - that's from today's NYT
