More revelations about the Worst President Ever and his corrupt administration.
General Accuses WH of War Crimes

He called the abuse "systemic and illegal." And, as Seymour M. Hersh reported in the New Yorker, he was rewarded for his honesty by being forced into retirement.
Now, in a preface to a Physicians for Human Rights report based on medical examinations of former detainees, Taguba adds an epilogue to his own investigation.
The new report, he writes, "tells the largely untold human story of what happened to detainees in our custody when the Commander-in-Chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture.

Being the uber CSPAN junkie I am, I watched a good bit of the hearings last night with Senator Warners committee and the Army officers who wrote memos about all the reverse engineering that went on with the torture techniques at GitMo.. pretty intense stuff at 2 am last night.
