Torture, new news
The Independant has released a story telling that the Pentagon has found 28 soldiers guilty over the deaths of two Taliban suspects in Afganistan. Since the event happened in December of 2002, it preceeds Abu Ghraib.
In other news (pdf), a letter has been released to the public from a Guantanamo detainee. Miraculously censored. The author of the letter claims to have witnessed the deaths of two fellow detainees. Moazzam Begg has been in solitary confinement for a very long time, and it is theorized that this is because he is a witness and is being kept separate.
Couple these two findings with what is already known about Abu Ghraib and you have a good case for a culture permissive to torture in the US armed forces. Should these two stories gain the required media attention, it could actually affect the current presidenial race. And if it breaks afterwards with a Bush presidency, it could mean real trouble for Bush and his advisors. I've already explained about that. Several times, as you can see.
