Het goede nieuws blijft voortduren. De Washington Post bericht over een rechtzaak tegen twee militaire hondenafrichters in Abu Ghraib.

The preliminary hearing at Fort Meade, Md., for two Army dog handlers accused of mistreating detainees provided more evidence that severe tactics approved for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo migrated to Iraq and spiraled into the notorious abuse at Abu Ghraib in the late summer and early fall of 2003. The testimony came days after an internal military investigation showed the similarity between techniques used on the suspected “20th hijacker” in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and tactics seen in photographs at the prison that shocked the world.

Several Republican senators are pushing legislation — opposed by the White House — that would regulate the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo and other military prisons.

De vetdruk is van mij, omdat ik het bemoedigend vind dat er eindelijk ook Republikeinen zijn die zich uitspreken tegen de manier waarop de Amerikaanse buitenlandse gevangenen worden behandeld. Daarnaast is het tekenend dat de Amerikaanse regering de dienaangaande wetgeving tegen wil houden.
