The only thing that is news here, U.S. Knew of Suspected Iraq Abuse in 2003, is that its in the news. Anyone who thought the powers that be didn't know prisoners were being tortured is deluding themselves.
Soldiers do not, as a general rule, take to wantonly disregarding international laws on the care and keeping of POW's (like, hey, reporting that you have them! or not using them as punching bags).
Lynndie England, Sabrina Harmon, you were but fodder so that the real culprits could wash their hands of the whole affair. Then again, no one made you pose for all those pictures, did they? That was just stupid.
