Levin" I got to tell you what I deeply object to, the only people that have borne the brunt for these actions particularly Abu Graib are some low ranked people in the Military.
I object strongly when the president of the United States say's that a few of American troops dishonored us at Abu Graib, when it was the policy and the practices specifically approved
by Sec. Rumsfeld after going to the National Security Counsel which went to Abu Graib and authorized the use of these dogs and the use of nudity and the use of stress positions. To lay that off on a few bad apples, as Judge Gonzales did for the Bush administration, For the president of the United States to say that a few American troops dishonored us at Abu Graib, no what dishonored us was policies and practices that were authorized that went to Abu Graib and there ought to be accountability about how that is done should be done by an independent person, not by elected politicians such as me or anybody else.
