All:

Thanks for this article, Wayne.  It supports what I wrote yesterday on V2020. 
 Odd that this sort of abuse goes on in US prisons yet where is the moral 
outrage taking the headlines?  Oh, I forgot, as one V2020 participant phrased it, 
let's not have a "pity party for criminals."  
Those "criminals" in our prisons are not really human anyway.  A high 
percentage of them (compared to the general population) are uneducated and from 
minority groups.

So does anyone think racism is a factor in the abuse of Iraq prisoners?  
Couldn't be!
