Seems like a BIG mistake is being made. Why did they prosecute and imprison the people who were "carrying out orders", and why aren't they prosecuting those in the DOJ and Bush Administration who formulated and gave the orders?????
"Prison guards jailed for abusing inmates at the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq are planning to appeal against their convictions on the ground that recently released CIA torture memos prove that they were scapegoats for the Bush Administration.
