The Bush administration has gone to court to block publication of new pictures and videos from Abu Ghraib, which show detained women being raped and young boys being sodomized. Some of the women attempted to send letters asking their husbands to kill them and end their shame.
At the same time, the administration is threatening to veto next year's defense appropriations bill if it contains provisions for regulating the treatment of detainees, or provides for establishing a commission to investigate abuses at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.
There are no words left to describe the level of viciousness and utter depravity to which this gang of war criminals has sunk. What's important now is that we resolve that someday, somehow, they will be brought to justice and made to answer for their crimes, no matter how long it takes.
