It just keeps getting worse. From the article:
LONDON - U.S. soldiers who detained an elderly Iraqi woman last year placed a harness on her, made her crawl on all fours and rode her like a donkey, Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal human rights envoy to Iraq said Wednesday.
The envoy, legislator Ann Clwyd, said she had investigated the claims of the woman in her 70s and believed they were true.
The Washington Post unearthed a whole bunch more photos today. Really bad ones. With that same woman who's in most of the others. I mentioned this before but it bears repeating and reiterating: this administration seems determined to lose. Every opportunity (the Washington Times today blared "Bush Does Not Apologize") they have to make a mistake, they do. That's why I'm convinced that they're going to pull out a large number of forces before the election. It'll allow them to claim a "victory" and to lower the number of forces in Iraq, thus reducing casualties. It'll also be the worst possible option at this point, but Bush and Co. aren't worried about Iraq anymore. They're worried about getting re-elected.
From my perspective, since I'm already convinced that they won't be re-elected, I can only look at these pictures and read these stories and think that Bush has managed to recruit more terrorists for Al Qaeda than any one person, before or since. His bungling has cost us lives, and is endangering the security of the United States.
