Oh, I wish I have the time to write more on this. But right now, I have to rush off to keep an appointment. Meantime, please share your thoughts. I am sure lots of folks here will be watching attentively.

The use of fear on prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison was a disgrace and it has embarrassed America no end.
