<<As I said, there may have been a few bad apples>> No here's what you said: ABUSE PICTURES ARE FAKE Sorry to pop your bubble, but your game is over... Which makes you someone who lies, and then lies about the lie. Meanwhile the Abu Ghraib story continues to unfold: story.news.yahoo.com 7 More U.S. Soldiers Reprimanded for Abuse "The president wanted to make sure appropriate action is being taken against those responsible for these shameful and appalling acts," McClellan said. The U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council joined the chorus of international criticism of the alleged abuse, terming it a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. In a statement Monday, the council demanded that U.S. authorities allow Iraqi judges to take part in the interrogation of prisoners and open the detention centers to inspection by Iraqi officials. Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who oversaw the prison, said on ABC's "Good Morning America" that she did not know about the prisoner abuse while it was happening. "They were despicable acts," Karpinski said Monday. "Had I known anything about it, I certainly would have reacted very quickly." Karpinski, commander of the 800th Military Police Brigade, said that in one photograph from the prison, there appeared to be more Americans involved in the alleged abuse than the six MPs who have already been charged. "Absolutely. One photograph showed — it didn't show faces completely, but the photograph showed 32 boots," Karpinski told ABC. "I'm saying other people than the military police." It was not clear if that would include the seven soldiers reported reprimanded Monday. Last week, CBS' "60 Minutes II" broadcast images allegedly showing Iraqis stripped naked, hooded and being tormented by their U.S. captors. An internal U.S. Army report found that Iraqi detainees were subjected to "sadistic, blatant and wanton criminal abuses," according to The New Yorker magazine. Steve Dietrich
