Reply #30: Read above that particular case is AS IT SHOULD [View All]

under review... and I expect to see consequences for the officers once this is all said and done

This was not about a PARTICULAR case but a general statement.

When you see a video tape, usually you are entering the action in the middle. Usually there is more to the story than what you are seeing. That is why investigations have to be made. This one will be reviewed, and from the tape, once it was enhanced, it does not look good for the home team, aka the cops, who should see effects to their careers, aka face punishments or a firing or two.

But the statement about the caricatures stand. The Left beleives the cops are out to get you, while the Right believes the cops can never ever do any wrong whatsoever. I take a more centrist view and I want all evidnece on SPECIFIC CASES to be reviewed before I truly jump into conclusions. It take a far more measured aproach and wait until a tad more emerges than just a fluzzy tape that had many backs.

Why? I tend not to convict anybody before a trial, or in this case a review board.

Now to Abu Graib, you are comparing apples with oranges. There were several people, who SHOULD have blown the whistle, and fortunally specialist Darbee did. These are in order, under the Geneval Convention

Any and all medical personnel... who should know better

Supervisory personnel

What we had was a failure of the chan of command going all the way to the President of the US (accordign to the latest CIA release Bush wrote the Presidential Finding)... can you say war crinmes? And I wish Bush to face a War Crime, but the chances of that happening are anywhere from zero to none.
