The mother of all shitstorms is about to start

In the past months we have heard little about the Abu Ghraib debacle but it looks like all of that might be about to change. Tis last week the general in charge of the "new techniques" at Abu Ghriab prison, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, invoked his rights against self incrimination during a court martial of a subordinate accused of abuses in the prison.

This story in WAPO tells about the recent deals involving high level military personnel. These deals may allow prosecutors to get information about higher ranking military leaders and possibly even members of the civillian leadership involved in the decision to use torture-like-treatment of detainees in the military prisons both in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay Cuba.

This story has been largely off the radar for a pretty good while now and is looking like it will be getting up to speed in the not too distant future. Look for more reporting on this soon.
