Recommended Reading

Two entries on the recent accusations that some US soldiers in Iraq are torturing prisoners. One by Joshua Michah Marshall, the other in The Washington Monthly blog.

ETA: And here’s a Washington Post story about the U.S. efforts to calm the furor the photos are causing around the world. This is also worth reading because it’s the first and probably only time I’m linking to a story in which I agree with every word George W. Bush says. I’m not sure he means them, but I agree with them.
