Who is to blame?

United Press International: Army, CIA want torture truths exposed: "President George W. Bush in his weekly radio address Saturday claimed that the Abu Ghraib abuses were only 'the actions of a few' and that they did not 'reflect the true character of the Untied States armed forces.'

But what enrages many serving senior Army generals and U.S. top-level intelligence community professionals is that the 'few' in this case were not primarily the serving soldiers who were actually encouraged to carry out the abuses and even then take photos of the victims, but that they were encouraged to do so, with the Army's well-established safeguards against such abuses deliberately removed by high-level Pentagon civilian officials."
