Seymour Hersh's new Abu Ghraib story is up. Wotth reading, though there's nothing fundamentally new. Lot of detail about how the investigation was conducted, and some good insight about Rummy as Mr. Micawber.
Most quotable sentence: Rumsfeld, in early 2002, attributing concerns about maltreatment of prisoners to "isolated pockets of international hyperventilation." Well, I guess if you're going to be flat-out wrong, you might as well be memorably flat-out wrong.
