How could that be? I mean, there weren't more than just the seven involved. That's what we've been repeatedly told. Seven bad apples.

And, there was no "pattern of abuse". General Abizaid testified.

A couple more pictures were released. Two new smiling faces over a battered corpse.

I guess the decision has been to dribble the photos out. That's good soap opera press, but is this something we really want to keep fueling?

....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
