For a lengthy expose on General Taguba, the author of the Abu Ghraib report that Don Rumsfeld and others have repeatedly lied under oath about, go here. Money quote comes from the third page, when Taguba was told he and his report would be investigated:
Taguba got a different message, however, from other officers, among them General John Abizaid, then the head of Central Command. A few weeks after his report became public, Taguba, who was still in Kuwait, was in the back seat of a Mercedes sedan with Abizaid. Abizaid’s driver and his interpreter, who also served as a bodyguard, were in front. Abizaid turned to Taguba and issued a quiet warning: “You and your report will be investigated.”
“I wasn’t angry about what he said but disappointed that he would say that to me,” Taguba said. “I’d been in the Army thirty-two years by then, and it was the first time that I thought I was in the Mafia.”
I wonder how long the damage Rumsfeld and company have done to the military will take to repair. Wingnuts better start acting now and blaming this on Clinton.
