Military Takes Action Against Key Witness in Abu Ghraib Abuse Scandal
By Brian Ross and Alexandra Salomon
May 21, 2004 - A witness who told ABCNEWS he believed the military was
covering up the extent of abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison was today
stripped of his security clearance and told he may face prosecution because
his comments were "not in the national interest."
Sgt. Samuel Provance said in addition to his revoked security clearance, he
was transferred to a different platoon, and his record was officially
"flagged," meaning he cannot be promoted or given any awards or honors.
Provance said he was told he will face administrative action for failing to
report what he knew at the time and for failing to take steps to stop the
abuse.
"I see it as an effort to intimidate Sgt. Provance and any other soldier
whose conscience is bothering him, and who wants to come forward and tell
what really happened at Abu Ghraib," said his attorney Scott Horton.

A pattern of deception
A hard truth appears to have escaped the notice of the public and received
scant attention from the media: Bush is the first president in American
history to use deceptive propaganda as his main means of communications in
selling his policies. His pattern of deception continues unabated and in
direct conflict with the notion of the public's informed consent that is
central to American democracy.

Wow, thanks for providing indisputable evidence. Go back to worshiping
Rush's anal warts.

Sorry, the burden of proof falls on the nutcase conspiracy
theorist--that would be you.
Make sure you wear your foil beanie shiny side out.

Shoot the messanger, never mind the message.

was transferred to a different platoon, and his record was officially
"flagged," meaning he cannot be promoted or given any awards or honors.
Provance said he was told he will face administrative action for failing to

One thing we don't want is for our military to become corrupt. Rummy should quit
now. Then we need to clean up this mess.
