The Iraqi Prison Story
I confess to finding the whole thing a little less than compelling. The latest
"outrage" is that the guards used dogs to intimidate the prisoners, and that one of the prisoners was even bit by a dog.
Elsewhere in the report it became clear what Kimbro would not do: American soldiers, Taguba said, used "military working dogs to frighten and intimidate detainees with threats of attack, and in one instance actually biting a detainee."
Funny, I had always heard that one of the first things a reporter learns is that "Dog Bites Man" is not a story. Except when it can be used against President Bush and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, I suppose.
John Moore has quite a
good post on the whole situation over at his blog.
