Lying Sack Sanchez under fire

A US army inquiry into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal reportedly finds the former top commander in Iraq violated standard procedures and allowed human rights abuses to occur.

Classified parts of the report on abuses at the Iraqi prison say the Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez approved severe interrogation practices intended for captives in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, the New York Times reported on Friday.

I've posted on Sanchez getting away with this before. Now let's see what his penalty is.

The report, prepared by a US army general, also says that by issuing and revising interrogation rules three times in 30 days, Sanchez and his staff created such confusion that interrogators' actions violated the Geneva Conventions, which they understood poorly to begin with, the newspaper said.

...According to the classified portions of the generals' report, procedures that Sanchez approved violated standard Army doctrine and the Geneva Conventions, the newspaper said.

He's Rumsfiend buffer. Too bad Ricardo. You play the game, you sometimes lose.

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