According to the article you posted, the veto thread is over a threatened investigation of the now more or less debunked "Koran flushing," and other allegations at Gitmo, not over the Abu Garib incident.

This is not the first time you've mixed the two camps up.

You do realize that Gitmo is in Cuba and Abu Garib is in Iraq, don't you? And you do realize that Cuba and Iraq are two completely different countries, on two completely different continents (in fact, one is an island)? And that they are separated by an entire ocean and several other land masses, don't you?



You do realize that this is all related, don't you. Smarmy condescending comments aside. If not, once again.

moves to regulate the Pentagon's treatment of detainees or sets up a commission to investigate operations at Guantanamo Bay prison and elsewhere.

They were working with Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner of Virginia on amendments intended to prevent further abuses in the wake of the scandal over sexual abuse and mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison and harsh, degrading interrogations at Guantanamo.



Funny that. 2 different continents. 2 different countries!! Wow! who knew....

Quote:

Possible measures included barring the holding of "ghost" detainees whose names are not disclosed, codifying a ban against cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment, and using the Army manual as a basis for all interrogations.

Democrats on Thursday said they would push an amendment to establish an independent national commission to investigate policies that led to abuses of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and elsewhere.



Here, let me refresh your memory as to the common theme and the origin as well as the point of all this:

The Roots of Torture

Since you want to play as if it's all about "koran flushing" and not investigating "ghost detainees", indefinate detention CHILD RAPE!, international law & treaty violations, and torture as well as regulating the treatment of prisoners in accordance to LAW and ...humanity??

The article by the way mentions NOTHING about koran flushing.
