Lendaddy: in my post, I said "large percentage"

What I'd read indicated 30-40% of detainees were not brought in for substantive reasons, other than the soldiers believed they were supposed to bring back Iraqis when they went out on raids.

It was a leadership issue.

Just like the guards in the prison were not clearly told the limits of their jobs.

I'm not blaming the grunts -- entirely. I don't think we had a plan after "victory" when we went to Iraq and every day I see proof that was indeed the case.

(I can't get the LA Times article to load, but clearly the Red Cross thinks more were improperly detained.)
