That's a quotation from Carroll Bogert of Human Rights Watch, in this Newsweek article.
Why am I so convinced of this, and that not only a few bad soldiers in the 372nd bear responsibility for Abu Ghraib? Not just because of this, this and this. There's also this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this....
(via too many people to credit individually, as well as Google News--this isn't original research on my part, just an effort to put as much of it as possible in one place.)
Katharine--be straight with us. Are you a robot? Can you consume and compile information just by sucking it out of the air at a rate too speedy for mortals to comprehend?

1) I procrastinate a lot.
2) I have a fast web connection at school.

Great compiling of resources - there should be a default email made - send this to people - it would be a "downer" email, but important to clear the cobwebs from people's eyese.

Another thing: I just saw Hersh on Paula Zahn. He noted that the photograph with the dogs and the naked prisoners this week is of soldiers in another unit (the 320th, I think), not the 372nd. That's probably mentioned in his article somewhere, but it didn't register with me when I read it.

320th Battalion, maybe? that's the battalion that the 372nd is in, which might explain it.

Katherine discovers Google - a post in 27 parts.
She not only posts about torture she discovers a new form of inflicting it.

Actually, it takes about ten minutes to do that set of links. What's sad is that so few pay attention to such banal, constant, old, information.
All due respect to Katherine for a fine post, to be sure.
Why everyone else doesn't make such links themselves, I don't know.
