Reflections on the "New American" Revolution
Tuesday, August 03, 2004
Army interrogators 'did not order abuse': "President George W.Bush said military investigations into the abuses demonstrate the strength of democracy by showing nobody is above the law."
As usual, the truth is the complete opposite of Bush's statement. The investigations reveal that almost everyone is above the law. Only the lowest levels are being prosecuted, and the punishment recieved so far is derisory compared to the crimes committed. For example, soldiers who murdered civilians get one year in prison. Bush himself needs to take responsibility for these atrocities--he created the context in which they happened.
