Bulldoze and Forget

NBC is reporting that we've decided to bulldoze Abu Ghraib prison. See no evil, remember no evil?

The abuse isn't limited to Abu Ghraib so what do you do? Use Trent Lott's advice (God help us) and bulldoze all of Iraq? According to a survey today, more than half of Americans believe (and probably very rightly so) that orders for abuse came from all those men at the top who are denying responsibility right now, and did not originate with the soldiers.

They (the president and the DOD/top military) took 'em to war, and if they manage not to get shot long enough to have an abuse charge leveled against them, the government and military completely disavows the GIs as "real" Americans. Abuse occurs on so many different levels.
