Military Justice

Here are the latest reports from The New Yorker, The New York Times and The Sunday Herald on American and British military abuses of Iraqi prisoners of war. I'm inclined to agree this was condoned and encouraged, if not ordered, by persons much higher up than the enlisted men and women shown in the U.S. photographs. How could one M.P. company engage in such widespread abuse without the knowledge of others in the same prison? And precisely what were the killed and abused prisoners being held for that warranted such inhuman interrogation techniques?
