I wonder who was directly in charge of the prison where the abuse occurred, not just the layer way above it. The person directly in charge should be charged. Am also curious if soldiers at other prisons are not educated on Geneva Conventions? They are prosecuting a person that's in the layer above the prison. It's interesting she is the only female U.S. commander in Iraq. The general in charge has been removed and is under investigation. Technically, the Geneva Conventions do not have to be followed because war has not been declared. That's how Rumsfeld got around the whole Guantanamo issue during the Afghan war. Nonetheless, Bush and Rumsfeld have asserted that the Geneva Conventions will be followed. What's the worst part of this is that they placed the Iraqis soldiers in demeaning sexual positions. That more than even outright torture will inflame them to no end. In one photo, one dykish looking soldier was pointing at the genitals of a nude Iraqi. She looked like she was doing some kind of weird cult dance. I don't even want to think what they will do to our soldiers when they get captured. Damn the general in charge for letting this happen.
