No Verdict Today

Well the panel members continued to deliberate today.  No verdict yet.  But I would highly recommend for peoples' reading the recent piece by Eric Schmitt and Carolyn Marshall of The New York Times on Task Force 6-26, a special operations unit that engaged in significant abuses before and after the Abu Ghraib scandal broke.  The article describes a base in Baghdad called Camp Nama that rivaled Tier 1A of Abu Ghraib for its atrocities and dehumanization of prisoners.  It's these sorts of stories that have not generated nearly enough attention and not remotely enough accountability.
