After watching today's hearings it clear that a few soldier's acts were way out of line. Also clear was that a power struggle by the commanding officers set the stage for lack of discipline and clear orders. Several other camps had some degree of mistreatment (which was taken care of) while this particular prison was just plain badly run. The most revealing testimony was from the Under Secretary of Inteligence that said "I think I don't know" to a question asked of him. General Taguba is defiantely a great general. Precise wording, no pandering, he answered all questions, which by the way were pretty direct from both sides of the isle. One other good thing is there seems to be very little politicking from this panel. Everyone (both sides and the military) is in agreement that this abuse has to be stopped, investigated and the guilty parties punished.
