Wanna bet?

Holy crap, I just found this. It’s viewable for free, but registration will apparently be required before long. Here’s the salient bit:

The unidentified detainee, believed to be a leader of the outlawed Ansar al Islam group, was held without being given a prisoner number, nor was the International Committee of the Red Cross told about him, said a Pentagon spokesman, Bryan Whitman.

The Pentagon acted at the request of the then CIA director, George Tenet, Mr Whitman said. A US intelligence official acknowledged Mr Tenet’s role.

Not quite the blame-game that I referred to, but it’s of the same species. We should immediately fire and indict everyone in the administration, starting from the top down.

Dave!
