Abuse Report Sneaks In

In case you missed it yesterday, and I am sure you did, the military released a report on prisoner abuse which said that there has been over 90 cases of confirmed abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wonder why the report was hurried and released unexpectedly yesterday... could it be because it is a very embarrassing and slipshod report and the Admin knew it would be overshadowed by the 9/11 commission report.  They even had a hearing on the report yesterday in the Senate Armed Services Committee in which several members including John McCain attacked the report. Carl Levin (D) said it was "difficult to believe there were not systemic problems with our detention and interrogations operations." There is more to this prisoner abuse story and I will keep you up-to-date and not let the Admin bury it on the back pages.
