Default Re: Abu Ghraib: Administration culpability?

It seems difficult for me to believe that this would have happened without at least tacit approval from the administration. On the other hand, I'm sure that Bush's handlers are far too smart to have ever given any direct orders to torture prisoners for information.

Rather, I imagine that they created an atmosphere in which it was clear that this was expected, or at least that it would be tolerated. Kind of a "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" thing.

Cheers,

Michael
