BBC (early Friday): Britons tell Bush of 'US abuse' at Guantanamo

2. I always thought Inhofe was
a complete nutball, asshole, partisan attack dog, but after his disgraceful display in the hearing the other day I wonder if he's delusional.
The question that this and other reports and first-hand accounts that have surfaced in the last few days begs is who in the chain of command - military and civilian - DIDN'T know this was going on???
