We'll tell about Abu Ghraib over and over again, despite the fact that it was over a year ago, and everyone involved has rotated to other duty stations. Nevermind the fact that our soldiers are helping rebuild mosques, that's not inflamatory or anti-bush.

Abu Ghraib General Says Israeli Worked at Prison
LONDON - The American general formerly in charge of Abu Ghraib prison says there are signs that Israelis were involved in interrogating Iraqi detainees at another facility.
Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, suspended in May over allegations of prisoner abuse, said she met a man who told her he was Israeli during a visit to a Baghdad intelligence center with a senior coalition general.
"I saw an individual there that I hadn't had the opportunity to meet before, and I asked him what did he do there, was he an interpreter - he was clearly from the Middle East," Karpinski told British Broadcasting Corp. radio in an interview broadcast yesterday. "He said, 'Well, I do some of the interrogation here. I speak Arabic, but I'm not an Arab; I'm from Israel.'
"I was really kind of surprised by that. ... He didn't elaborate any more than to say he was working with them, and there were people from lots of different places that were involved in the operation," Karpinski added.
Israel's Foreign Ministry told the BBC that reports of Israeli troops or interrogators in Iraq were "completely untrue."
The allegations were also denied in a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office.
