President Bush blames “a few bad apples” for Abu-Ghraib.

In 20 YEARS of searching I have never found ONE case of a CIA officer being prosecuted for crimes while on duty. They are untouchable.

But a couple of years later, America created their own concentration camp in the Philippines.

Now, the newspapers back home had a field day.
