Re: Suicide Better Than Abu Ghraib |
Re "Command Errors Aided Iraq Abuse, Army Has Found" (front page, May 3) and
"The Nightmare at Abu Ghraib" (editorial, May 3):
I want no one tortured in my name, not for my safety, not for democracy.
The sexual humiliation of men is unholy. Every senator, member of Congress,
religious leader and ordinary American should be screaming in protest.
Americans need answers. This is no time for polite deference to the
powerful.
Who is in charge of military intelligence? Who enabled the hiring of
civilian contractors to be part of military interrogation?
Who put an inept female reservist in charge of Abu Ghraib, and why? Why were
so few trained for interrogation?
These responsibilities ultimately go to the commander in chief and his
cabinet, especially to the secretary of defense and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
We have fine people in Congress, in positions of religious leadership, in
every home in America. It is time for all of us to call for truth and
justice.

Yes, but they are not. In particular, the halls of Congress seem to
have an air of polite decorum. And it's business as usual for the
ordinary American, what with going about their daily business, thinking
Iraq isn't greivous enough to make any real sacrifice over.
Likewise the United Nations is pretty quiet. You'd think that some
nation or another would be loudly denouncing the United States and
demanding immediate satisfaction (or else war!), but there's no such
thing going on.
