I don't say it is impossible that this went higher, but I am sick and tired of armchair generals like you sitting back and assuming that it went to the highest levels, "OMG america is crumbling, lets burn the village and cut our wrists so the world doesn't have to be ravaged by our decadent society anymore... "
Get over it. Bad shit happened. Consequences will be paid. It is bad but the world isn't ending because of the actions of some dumbass prison guards. [/b]

You are dead wrong. Very bad things happen in the military that are never made public and no one gets disciplined as a result of them happening. What was done to my full blood Native American friend as a result of racial prejudice was simply the tip of the iceberg in a military mindset which allowed for the torture of Iraqui prisoners. No one was disciplined over what happened to him. The entire case was swept under the rug and my friend was simply thankful to get out with his official record cleared and his good name intact. I begged him to go after the SOB Colonel responsible, but he just wanted clear of the entire situation, and I can't say that I blame him. Later reports showed that his was not an isolated case.
