<font color=brown> I agree......where was senior leadership like Bremer, Kimmit and Rumsfeld? Do you know, o wise one?<font color=black>

**************************************

Some soldiers blamed their superiors for the problems at Abu Ghraib.

"Where was the senior leadership? And how did this get so far?" asked Sgt. Glenda J. Bush, of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.

"We do talk about this among ourselves," she said. "What we believe is that we wouldn't want to be treated like that, so others should not have been treated this way, either."

Despite their outrage at the prison abuses and the subsequent comparisons of Iraq to the war in Vietnam, all the soldiers who spoke to AP said they were committed to their mission.

Three weeks ago, Miles went home to Woodville, Miss., on a 15-day break from his Iraq tour. All he could think about were the buddies he left behind.

"I kept wishing there was a number I could call to talk to them or something," he said. "I couldn't wait to get back. My mom thought I was crazy."
