Keith Olbermann - Disgraced commander calls out Cheney for 'scapegoating' Abu Ghraib soldiers

i hope graner enjoys getting fucked up the ass on a daily basis in jail

[gd129]

Yup, I bet Bush and Cheney all taught the Abu Ghraib soldiers to put the prisoners in naked people pyramids and put them on leashes.

Countdown doesn't get enough credit for being liberal propaganda, all you hear is Fox News is conservative propaganda, I think this is worse.

[ladykiri42]

Common German soldiers were prosecuted for not saying, "I refuse to obey and illegal order." Therefore, all are guilty from the bottom to the very top. They should be prosecuted.

If your thinking about joining the military in the U.S.A. This is how much your government cares about you. Not one little bit. They'll use you up and throw you away.

[trollfinger]

Of course. Peopple like Bush who had no problem using the military. These people (Bush/Cheeny) who dodged the draft have no right to do things like this.

I'm sceptical. By all means prosecute Cheney, Rumsfeld etc but I reckon that what went on at Abu Graib was a little bit of fun on the part of these 9 soldiers....it wasn't any part of an 'enhanced interrogation' but merely extra curricular activity by a group of sadists.

If they were ordered to do it then tough.....they should have refused the order.......and whoever gave the order....all the way to the top should also be prosecuted and given as much jail time as these 9.

No surprise that the coward Cheney let the little guys ("a few bad apples") take the fall for his torture policies

[ushadrons]

The following nine were the scapegoated soldiers that were sold down the river by the Bush Administration. They continue to be sold out by all of those who still try to defend the indefensible.... Cpl. Charels A. Graner Jr., Pfc. Lynndie England, Staff Sgt. Ivan Frederick II, SPC. Javal S. Davis, Spc. Jeremy Sivits, Spc. Sabrina Harman, Spc. Megan Ambuhl, Spc. Armin J. Cruz Jr., Spc. Roman Krol.... America should be angry that these soldiers have taken all the blame for Abu Ghraib alone.

[wildwilly1111]

Wow!

W's gang either knew torture was wrong and had dubious memos crafted to try to cover their butts, or they were convinced torture was OK but lost their courage and sold out the soldiers when the deeds came to light.

Liars or cowards - pick your poison

[ushadrons]

How about both.

[trollfinger]

You should type in "george bush iraq briefings bible quotes" and you'll see their poison.

[ushadrons]

Bring in General Miller and the 24 members of the "Tiger Team", ask them what they were teaching at Abu Ghraib. What contractors were giving orders to enlisted personel? The link between Guantanamo and Abu Gharaib is what the torture advocates are hiding from. All of the politicians in Washington and all the policy makers at the Pentagon that declared "Bad Apples" must be brought to task. Thank God for former Brig. General Janis Karpinski she is going to be very important in this investigation.

[jacobvision]

Put them all in jail, reserve an island in the great ocean to harbour all those that were part of the 9/11 game and games before.

Now where are the independent policeman, judges, etc to work this out ?

us, the people !

[Rodney92]

Let the trials begin. Put Rumsfeld in jail.
