One thing I will say is that the Administration had removed safe guards that prevent that kind of thing from happening. Last night I was watched the news with two experts one military another human rights. The administration removed JAG officers among other safe guards from the prisoner interrogation process. The sole purpose of that officer was to oversee that the interrogator did not step out of bounds. JAG complained and warned what could happen without their presence. With noone to watch them they can practically get away with anything, and they could do things that they don't even know is wrong. An environment has been set up were these things can now take place. My point is the administration, military brass is not completely blameless weather they knew of these things or not. Ignorance is not an excuse for lack of accountability. The problem is not going to go away by charging and dismissing a few privates the process of interrogation will have to be fixed from the top down.
